Charge separation in type II tunneling multilayered structures of CdTe and CdSe nanocrystals directly proven by surface photovoltage spectroscopy.

چکیده
Charge separation and diffusion in type II multilayered structures of CdTe and CdSe nanocrystals with a polymer spacer are unambiguously proven by surface photovoltage spectroscopy. Holes accumulate in CdTe nanocrystal layers, and the electrons in CdSe nanocrystal layers. An increase of thickness of the polymer spacer strongly decreases the charge separation efficiency. Surface photovoltage transients demonstrate diffusion of the separated charges over several layers of the same kind of nanocrystals.

Femtosecond spectroscopy of carrier relaxation dynamics in type II CdSe/CdTe tetrapod heteronanostructures.
Branched nanocrystal heterostructures synthesized from CdSe and CdTe exhibit a type II band structure alignment that induces separation of charge upon photoexcitation and localizes carriers to different regions of the tetrahedral geometry. The dynamics of carrier relaxation examined with femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy showed heterostructures having rise times and biexponential decays longe...
متن کاملUltrafast exciton dynamics in 2D in-plane hetero-nanostructures: delocalization and charge transfer.
In this article we study the ultrafast dynamics of excitons and charge carriers photogenerated in two-dimensional in-plane heterostructures, namely, CdSe-CdTe nanoplatelets. We combine transient absorption and two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy to study charge transfer and delocalization from a few tens of femtoseconds to several nanoseconds. In contrast with spherical nanocrystals, the re...
متن کاملDetermination of spatial charge separation of diffusing electrons by transient photovoltage measurements
It is shown that the surface photovoltage produced by the photoinjected carriers in a layer can be split up into two contributions: total amount of charge, and distance between the centers of charge of the positive and negative carriers. This fact allows us to extract information directly about spatial charge separation of photoinduced charge and its time evolution from surface photovoltage tra...
متن کاملShell and ligand-dependent blinking of CdSe-based core/shell nanocrystals.
Blinking of zinc blende CdSe-based core/shell nanocrystals is studied as a function of shell materials and surface ligands. CdSe/ZnS, CdSe/ZnSe/ZnS and CdSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals are prepared by colloidal synthesis and six monolayers of larger bandgap shell materials are grown over the CdSe core. Organic-soluble nanocrystals covered with stearate are made water-soluble by ligand excha...
متن کاملOptical characterization of type-II CdTe/CdSe/CdTe heterostructure nanorods
The optical characteristics of an indirect type II transition in a series of size and shape-controlled linear CdTe/CdSe/CdTe heterostructure nanorods was studied by steady state and time resolved photoluminescence spectra. The energy and lifetime of the photoluminescence from the charge-separated band structure can be tuned by the band edges of the nanorods. Our results show a size-dependent tr...
