Surface recombination and charged exciton in nanocrystal quantum dots on photonic crystals under two-photon excitation

چکیده
In this study, the two-photon excited fluorescence spectra from cadmium selenide quantum dots (QDs) on a silicon nitride photonic crystal (PhC) membrane under femtosecond laser irradiation were investigated. These spectra can be fit to a tri-Gaussian function in which one component is negative in amplitude, and in which the Gaussian components with positive amplitude are assigned to exciton emission and charged-exciton emission and that with negative amplitude is assigned to absorption from surface recombination. The photonic crystal enhance the charged-exciton emission and exciton emission and, at the same time, also the absorption from surface recombination. Both the charged-exciton emission and the surface recombination are related to Auger recombination; therefore, the photonic crystal controls both radiative recombination and non-radiative recombination. The asymmetries of the two-photon excited fluorescence spectra are due to not only the location of the resonant guide mode of the PhC slab but also the enhancement of the absorption from surface recombination by PhC.

Cavity mode emission in weakly coupled quantum dot--cavity systems.
We study the origin of bright leaky-cavity mode emission and its influence on photon statistics in weakly coupled quantum dot - semiconductor cavity systems, which consist of a planar photonic-crystal and several quantum dots. We present experimental measurements that show that when the system is excited above the barrier energy, then bright cavity mode emissions with nonzero detuning are domin...

We study the low-temperature photoluminescence ~PL! from self-assembled InAs quantum dots as a function of a wide range of external parameters such as excitation power and pump-photon energy. By means of a conventional micro-PL setup we have succeeded in selecting the emission from a single ~isolated! quantum dot. The results obtained show dramatic changes in the PL spectra initiated by changes...

We derive a general formalism to model the polariton states resulting from the radiation-matter interaction between an arbitrary number of excitonic transitions in semiconductor quantum dots and photon modes in a photonic crystal structure in which the quantum dots are embedded. The Maxwell equations, including the linear nonlocal susceptibility of the exciton transitions in the quantum dots, a...
متن کاملCarrier multiplication in InAs nanocrystal quantum dots with an onset defined by the energy conservation limit.
Carrier multiplication (CM) is a process in which absorption of a single photon produces not just one but multiple electron-hole pairs (excitons). This effect is a potential enabler of next-generation, high-efficiency photovoltaic and photocatalytic systems. On the basis of energy conservation, the minimal photon energy required to activate CM is two energy gaps (2Eg). Here, we analyze CM onset...
متن کاملEnhanced trion emission from colloidal quantum dots with photonic crystals by two-photon excitation
For colloidal quantum dots, the ongoing biggest problem is their fluorescence blinking. Until now, there is no generally accepted model for this fluorescence blinking. Here, two-photon excited fluorescence from CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals on silicon nitride photonic crystals is studied using a femtosecond laser. From analysis of the spectra and decay processes, most of the relative trion efficiency i...
