چکیده

We demonstrated that by properly coupling to silver nanoprisms, single CdSe/ZnS semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) exhibited suppressed blinking behavior, an enhanced fluorescence intensity ( approximately 2.5 fold), increased radiative decay rates ( approximately 12.5 fold), and antibunching single-photon emission. All these modifications significantly promote the overall performance of the proposed single-photon sources based on colloidal semiconductor QDs.

Colloidal CdSe/ZnS quantum dots as single- photon sources

The fluorescence of colloidal CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals at room temperature exhibits a perfect antibunching under continuous or pulsed excitation. In this paper, we discuss the consequences of fluorescence properties of CdSe nanocrystals on the generation of single photons. In particular,we examine the role of Auger processes in the inhibition of multiexcitonic emission. We also discuss the relatio...

An experimental and theoretical mechanistic study of biexciton quantum yield enhancement in single quantum dots near gold nanoparticles.

In this work, we systematically investigated the plasmonic effect on blinking, photon antibunching behavior and biexciton emission of single CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) near gold nanoparticles (NPs) with a silica shell (Au@SiO2). In order to obtain a strong interaction between the plasmons and excitons, the Au@SiO2 NPs and CdSe/CdS QDs of appropriate sizes were chosen so that the pla...

Photoluminescence dynamics of ensemble and individual CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with an alloyed core/shell interface

A comprehensive study of the photoluminescence dynamics in newly developed CdSe/ZnS quantum dots with alloyed core/shell interfaces is presented. Time-correlated single photon counting is used to measure the decay of exciton luminescence from both the ensemble and individual quantum dots. For decreasing emission wavelength (i.e., for smaller dots), the ensemble data reveal increasing total deca...

Differential effects of β-mercaptoethanol on CdSe/ZnS and InP/ZnS quantum dots.

The small thiol β-mercaptoethanol (BME) has been used as an anti-blinking reagent for CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs), although its effects on QD photoluminescence are complex. It acts as an antioxidant as well as a hole scavenger on both CdSe and CdTe, which leads to changes in emission intensity and lifetime that vary qualitatively according to BME concentration, time of incubation, and pH of the...

Enhanced 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...
