Electron and hole transfer from indium phosphide quantum dots.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electron- and hole-transfer reactions are studied in colloidal InP quantum dots (QDs). Photoluminescence quenching and time-resolved transient absorption (TA) measurements are utilized to examine hole transfer from photoexcited InP QDs to the hole acceptor N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) and electron transfer to nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) films. Core-confined holes are effectively quenched by TMPD, resulting in a new approximately 4-ps component in the TA decay. It is found that electron transfer to TiO2 is primarily mediated through surface-localized states on the InP QDs.

Electron Relaxation in Colloidal InP Quantum Dots with Photogenerated Excitons or Chemically Injected Electrons
Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy has been used to characterize charge carrier relaxation from the second excited state (1P) to the first excited state (1S) in colloidal indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs). A three pulse experiment consisting of a visible pump, infrared pump, and white light probe was used to characterize the relaxation of photogenerated excitons, and the role...

Highly ordered gallium indium phosphide layers with the low bandgap have been successfully grown on the (100) GaAs substrates, the misorientation toward [01-1] direction, using the low-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition method. It is found that the optical properties of the layers are same as those of the disordered ones, essentially different from the ordered ones having two orie...

متن کاملTheoretical analysis of electron-hole alignment in InAs-GaAs quantum dots
We present a theoretical analysis of the mean electron and hole positions in self-assembled InAs-GaAs quantum-dot structures. Because of the asymmetric dot shape, the electron center of mass should be displaced with respect to the hole center of mass in such dots, giving rise to a built-in dipole moment. Theoretical calculations on ideal pyramidal dots predict the electron to be localized above...
