CdSe/CdS核/壳型纳米晶的光谱特性

以巯基乙酸为稳定剂制备了CdSe/CdS核／壳型纳米晶。用光吸收谱（Abs)、光致发光谱（PL）及光致发光激发谱（PLE）研究了CdS壳层对CdSe纳米晶电子结构，从而对其吸收和发光性能的影响。根据PL和PLE的结果以及带边激子精细结构的计算结果，我们用尺寸很小的纳米晶中所形成的基激缔合物解释了PL光谱与吸收边之间较大的Stokes位移。

Spectral Characteristics of CdSe/CdS Nanocrystals

Semiconductor nanocrystals appear different optical properties from their bulk analogous due to quantum confinement effects. It is well known that optical absorption of nanocrystals shift to higher energy as the sizes decrease, while the emission at the absorption band edge is always too weak to be investigated in details due to much nonradiative recombination at nanoparticle surface. To eliminate the surface defects, some kinds of materials such as organic molecules, polymers and inorganic compounds are used to overcoat the nanoparticles. It has been found that nanocrystals overcoated with high band gap inorganic materials maned core/shell type nanocrystals exhibit high photoluminescence intensity at band edge due to effective elimination of surface nonradiative recombination. In this article we report the characteristics of CdSe/CdS core/shell nanocrystals synthesized with mercapto acid as stabilizer. The effect of CdS shell on the electronic characteristics and the luminescence of CdSe core were investigated by using optical absorption, photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectra. Large band edge luminescence enhancement was found in CdSe nanoparticles overcoated with the CdS shell with a thickness of 0 3 nm due to passivation of nonradiative recombination sites on CdSe surfaces. Such bandedge emission also appeared redshift from the absorption maximum. This Stokes shift of the emission peak from the absorption edge was explained by a model of formation of excimer among the small nanoparticles based on the optical experimental results and the theoretical calculation on fine structures of bandedge excitons.
