CdSe/CdZnSe超晶格的激子光学性质的研究

用分子束外延法在GaAs衬底上生长了CdSe/Cd0.65Zn0.35Se超晶格结构。利用X射线衍射（XRD）、77K下变密度激发的光致发光光谱和变温度光致发光光谱研究了CdSe/CdZnSe超晶格结构和激光复合特性，在该材料中观测到激子－激子散射发射峰，变密度激发光致发光光谱和谱温度光致发光光谱证实了这一现象，激子发射峰的线宽随着温度的升高而展宽，低温时发光峰的宽度主要是由合金组分和阱垒起伏引起的，没温时激子线宽展宽是由于激子与纵光学声子和离化的施主杂质间的散射作用引起的，光致发光的强度随着温度的升高而降低，这主要是由激子的热离化造成的，也就是说，热激发使得电子或空穴由阱中跃迁至垒上。

空穴传输材料对CdSe核壳量子点的荧光影响

用稳态光谱和时间分辨光谱技术研究了空穴传输材料对CdSe/ZnSe 与CdSe/ZnS核壳量子点的荧光影响。结果表明,空穴传输材料对量子点有较强的猝灭作用,随空穴传输材料分子浓度的增加,量子点的荧光强度明显地被猝灭,同时量子点的荧光寿命也被减短。两种不同空穴传输分子对CdSe/ZnSe量子点的荧光猝灭明显不同。在与相同空穴传输分子相互作用时,包覆ZnS壳层的CdSe核壳量子点荧光猝灭效率明显低于包覆ZnSe壳层的CdSe核壳量子点。量子点的荧光猝灭过程可以解释为静态猝灭和动态猝灭过程,其中静态猝灭来源于量子点表面与空穴传输材料间相互作用,而动态猝灭则主要来源于量子点到空穴传输材料的空穴转移过程。实验结果表明空穴传输材料的种类以及核壳量子点的壳层结构都对其荧光猝灭效应起关键作用。     

Temperature-dependent photoluminescence of vertically stacked self-assembled CdSe quantum dots in ZnSe

We studied the optical properties of multiple layers of self-assembled CdSe quantum dots (QDs) embedded in ZnSe, grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The ZnSe barrier thicknesses separating the QD layers ranged from 30 to 60 monolayers (ML). For stacks with thinnest ZnSe barriers photoluminescence (PL) measurements reveal blue shifts as large as 180 meV relative to PL observed for single QD layers. The amount of blue shift decreases with increasing barrier thickness, and for the 60 ML spacer the PL energy returns to that emitted by a single layer of QDs. Temperature dependence of the integrated intensity of the emission spectra reveals that the activation energy for PL quenching is largest for barrier thicknesses of 30 and 45 ML. We tentatively attribute these effects to a decrease in the size of the vertically stacked QDs when the thickness of the barrier layers is small.     

Enhancement of spin polarization in asymmetrically coupled CdSe and CdZnMnSe quantum dots in ZnSe matrix

An asymmetrically coupled double quantum dot (QD) system consisting of adjacent CdSe and CdZnMnSe QD layers in a ZnSe matrix was investigated using polarization-selective magneto-photoluminescence (PL). Two well-resolved PL peaks are observed corresponding, respectively, to the CdSe and the CdZnMnSe QDs. The peaks exhibit significant change in the intensity and energy position when a magnetic field is applied. The enhancement of the degree of σ⁻ circular polarization emitted by the non-magnetic CdSe QDs is observed in the double layer system, as compared to that observed in CdSe QDs without the influence of neighboring CdZnMnSe QDs. This behavior was discussed in terms of antiferromagnetic interaction between carrier spins localized in pairs of CdSe and CdZnMnSe QDs that are electronically coupled.     

Re-charging the luminescence states in CdSe/ZnS quantum dots at the conjugation to Osteopontin antibodies

The paper presents the original study of photoluminescence (PL) and Raman scattering spectra of core–shell CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) covered by the amine-derivatized polyethylene glycol (PEG) with luminescence interface states. First commercially available CdSe/ZnS QDs with emission at 640 nm (1.94 eV) covered by PEG polymer have been studied in nonconjugated states. PL spectra of nonconjugated QDs are characterized by a superposition of PL bands related to exciton emission in a CdSe core and to the hot electron–hole recombination via high energy luminescence states. The study of high energy PL bands in QDs at different temperatures has shown that these PL bands are related to luminescence interface states at the CdSe/ZnS or ZnS/polymer interface. Then CdSe/ZnS QDs have been conjugated with biomolecules—the Osteopontin antibodies. It is revealed that the PL spectrum of bioconjugated QDs changed essentially with decreasing hot electron–hole recombination flow via luminescence interface states. It is shown that the QD bioconjugation process to Osteopontin antibodies is complex and includes the covalent and electrostatic interactions between them. The variation of PL spectra due to the bioconjugation is explained on the basis of electrostatic interaction between the QDs and biomolecule dipoles that stimulates re-charging QD interface states. The study of Raman scattering of bioconjugated CdSe/ZnS QDs has confirmed that the antibody molecules have the electric dipoles. It is shown that CdSe/ZnS QDs with luminescence interface states are promising for the study of bioconjugation effects with specific antibodies and can be a powerful technique in biology and medicine.

Photoluminescence of InAs Self-Organized Quantum Dots Formation on InP Substrate by MOCVD

In this letter, we present results of photoluminescence (PL) emission from single-layer and multilayer InAs self-organized quantum dots (QDs), which were grown on (001) InP substrate. The room temperature PL peak of the single-layer QDs locates at 1608 nm, and full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the PL peak is 71 meV. The PL peak of the multilayer QDs locates at 1478 nm, PL intensity of which is stronger than that of single-layer QDs. The single-layer QD PL spectra also display excited state emission and state filling as the excitation intensity is increased. Low temperature PL spectra show a weak peak between the peaks of QDs and wetting layer (WL), which suggests the recombination between electrons in the WL and holes in the dots.     

Magneto-optical study of nonmagnetic quantum dots coupled to a magnetic semiconductor quantum well

We have investigated a series of double-layer structures consisting of a layer of self-assembled non-magnetic CdSe quantum dots (QDs) separated by a thin ZnSe barrier from a ZnCdMnSe diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMSs) quantum well (QW). In the series, the thickness of the ZnSe barrier ranged between 12 and 40 nm. We observe two clearly defined photoluminescence (PL) peaks in all samples, corresponding to the CdSe QDs and the ZnCdMnSe QW, respectively. The PL intensity of the QW peak is observed to decrease systematically relative to the QD peak as the thickness of the ZnSe barrier decreases, indicating a corresponding increase in carrier tunneling from the QW to the QDs. Furthermore, polarization-selective PL measurements reveal that the degree of polarization of the PL emitted by the CdSe QDs increases with decreasing thickness of the ZnSe barriers. The observed behavior is discussed in terms of anti-parallel spin interaction between carriers localized in the non-magnetic QDs and in the magnetic QWs.

光诱导功能退化是胶体量子点在应用中面临的主要挑战之一,本文针对这一问题研究了使用磁控溅射沉积SiO₂薄膜形成钝化层来提高CdSe/ZnS量子点发光稳定性的方法。首先,通过三正辛基膦辅助连续离子层吸附反应方法合成了615 nm发光的红色CdSe/ZnS量子点。然后将量子点旋涂在SiO₂/Si基片上,再通过磁控溅射方法在量子点上沉积了厚度为20 nm的SiO₂薄膜作为钝化层。使用连续波激光光源分别在空气气氛和真空条件下照射样品,研究了经过不同照射时间后钝化和未钝化量子点的稳态光致发光光谱。结果表明,随着照射时间的延长,没有SiO₂钝化的量子点的PL强度显著降低、PL峰值发生蓝移、FWHM不断增大。对比研究发现,由于SiO₂薄膜能够阻挡空气中的水和氧,减缓了量子点表面的光诱导氧化现象,因此显著提高了CdSe/ZnS量子点的稳定性。     

Exciton tunnelling in ZnCdSe quantum well/CdSe quantum dots

Exciton tunnelling through a ZnSe barrier layer of various thicknesses is investigated in a Zn_0.72Cd_0.28Se/CdSe coupled quantum well/quantum dots (QW/QDs) structure using photoluminescence (PL) spectra and near resonant pump-probe technique. Fast exciton tunnelling from quantum well to quantum dots is observed by transient differential transmission.

Experimental investigation of energy transfer between CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and different-sized gold nanoparticles

Hybrid nanostructures of quantum dots(QDs) and metallic nanostructure are attractive for future use in a variety of optoelectronic devices. For photodetection applications, it is important that the photoluminescence (PL) of QDs is quenched by the metallic nanostructures. Here, the quenching efficiency of CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) with different sized gold nanoparticles (NPs) films through energy transfer is investigated by measuring the PL intensity of the hybrid nanostructures. In our research, the gold NPs films are formed by the post-annealing of the deposited Au films on the quartz substrate. We find that the energy transfer from the QDs to the Au NPs strongly depends on the sizes of the Au NPs. For CdSe/ZnS QDs direct contact with the Au NPs films, the largest energy transfer efficiency are detected when the resonance absorption peak of the Au NPs is nearest to the emission peak of the CdSe/ZnS QDs. However, when there is a PMMA spacer between the QDs layer and the Au NPs films, firstly, we find that the energy transfer efficiency is weakened, and the largest energy transfer efficiency is obtained when the resonant absorption peak of the Au NPs is farthest to the emission peak wavelength of CdSe/ZnS QDs. These results will be useful for the potential design of the high efficiency QDs optoelectronic devices.
