Degenerate four waves mixing in multilayer nanoshell
We will present a detailed investigation of intersubband transitions process in core-multi shells quantum dots. The confined wave functions and eigenenergies of electrons in quantum dots have been calculated under the effective-mass approximation by solving a three-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Excellent dependence is found between size effects, time relaxation and degenerate four wave mixi...

متن کاملEffect of PbS Film Thickness on the Performance of Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells
Colloidal quantum dots offer broad tuning of semiconductor band structure via the quantum size effect. In this paper, we present a detailed investigation on the influence of the thickness of colloidal lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals (active layer) to the photovoltaic performance of colloidal quantum dot solar cells. The PbS nanocrystals (QDs) were synthesized in a non-coordinating solvent, 1-oc...
متن کاملNovel multi-photon microscopy based on resonant nonlinear optics of colloidal quantum dots
We demonstrate a novel imaging modality based on the detection of resonant four-wave mixing emitted by colloidal quantum dots. This third-order signal is excited and detected at a visible wavelength in resonance with an electronic transition, and results in a significant improvement of the spatial resolution with respect to a twophoton fluorescence microscope. In particular, we have investigate...
متن کاملFree Carrier Generation and Recombination in PbS Quantum Dot solar cells
Time Delayed Collection Field (TDCF) and Bias Assisted Charge Extraction (BACE) experiments are used to investigate the charge carrier dynamics in PbS colloidal quantum dot solar cells. We find that free charge carrier creation is slightly field dependent, thus providing an upper limit to the fill factor. BACE measurements reveal a rather high effective mobility of 2 × 10 cm2/Vs, meaning that c...
