Abstract: | Photoluminescence of CdTe nanocrystals (NC) is excited resonantly in the lowest energy absorption peak. The spectrum shows a luminescence line shifted to a lower energy and acoustical and optical phonon replica. The Stokes shift between the luminescence and excitation lines is attributed to the electron-hole exchange energy in the nanocrystal. By tuning the laser line inside the absorption peak, we are able to measure the Stokes shift as a function of the excitation energy. Calculation of the absorption gap and the Stokes shift is done in a tight-binding theory. It allows us to determine the radius R of NC excited at a given wavelength and to compare the experimental and theoretical values of the exchange energy as a function of R. A very good agreement is obtained. The observed size dependence of the acoustical phonon mode energy provides a further confirmation of our analysis. |
