Three-photon excited band edge and trap emission of CdS semiconductor nanocrystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on three-photon excited band edge and trap emission of CdS semiconductor nanocrystals. While the band edge emission intensity clearly shows a cubic dependence on excitation intensity, demonstrating three-photon absorption process, the trap emission does not exhibit such a cubic dependence. A simple theoretical model based on the assumption that there exist a limited number of trap states in nanocrystals shows good agreement with the experiment, suggesting that the number of trap states play an important role in their emission intensity dependence of multiphoton excitation. The three-photon absorption cross section of CdS nanocrystals is measured to be ;10 cm s photon, which is three to four orders of magnitude higher than those of the previously reported common UV fluorescent dyes. © 2004 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1755420#

Second harmonic generation and two-photon luminescence upconversion in glasses doped with ZnSe nanocrystalline quantum dots
We report two-photon excited emission in borosilicate glasses doped with ZnSe nanocrystalline quantum dots. The emission, predominantly near the two-photon energy and detected in the direction of the excitation beam, is in the visible, and the fundamental excitation is the near-infrared output of a tunable femtosecond laser. Depending on the two-photon energy, timeand frequency-resolved measure...
متن کاملSelective enhancement of surface-state emission and simultaneous quenching of interband transition in white-luminophor CdS nanocrystals using localized plasmon coupling
We propose and demonstrate the controlled modification and selective enhancement of surface-state emission in white-luminophor CdS nanocrystals (NCs) by plasmon-coupling them with proximal metal nanostructures. By carefully designing nano-Ag films to match their localized plasmon resonance spectrally with the surface-state emission peak of CdS NCs, we experimentally show that the surface-state ...

متن کاملCold field emission dominated photoconductivity in ordered three-dimensional assemblies of octapod-shaped CdSe/CdS nanocrystals.
Semiconductor nanocrystals, especially their ordered assemblies, are promising materials for various applications. In this paper, we investigate the photoconductive behavior of sub-micron size, ordered three-dimensional (3D) assemblies of octapod-shaped CdSe/CdS nanocrystals that are contacted by overlay electron-beam lithography. The regular structure of the assemblies leads to photocurrent-vo...
متن کاملUsing shape to turn off blinking for two-colour multiexciton emission in CdSe/CdS tetrapods
Semiconductor nanostructures capable of emitting from two excited states and thereby of producing two photoluminescence colours are of fundamental and potential technological significance. In this limited class of nanocrystals, CdSe/CdS core/arm tetrapods exhibit the unusual trait of two-colour (red and green) multiexcitonic emission, with green emission from the CdS arms emerging only at high ...
