Abstract: | Size-dependence of optical properties and energy relaxation in
CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were investigated by two-colour
femtosecond (fs) pump--probe (400/800\,nm) and picosecond
time-resolved photoluminescence (ps TRPL) experiments. Pump--probe
measurement results show that there are two components for the
excited carriers relaxation, the fast one with a time constant of
several ps arises from the Auger-type recombination, which shows
almost particle size-independence. The slow relaxation component with
a time constant of several decades of ns can be clearly determined
with ps TRPL spectroscopy in which the slow relaxation process shows
strong particle size-dependence. The decay time constants increase
from 21 to 34\,ns with the decrease of particle size from 3.2 to
2.1\,nm. The room-temperature decay lifetime is due to the thermal
mixing of bright and dark excitons, and the size-dependence of slow
relaxation process can be explained very well in terms of simple
three-level model. |
