Abstract

Elevated temperature optoelectronic performance of semiconductor nanomaterials remains an important issue for applications. Here we examine two-dimensional CdSe nanoplatelets (NPs) and CdS/CdSe/CdS shell/core/shell sandwich NPs at temperatures ranging from 300-700 K using static and transient spectroscopies as well as in-situ transmission electron microscopy. NPs exhibit reversible changes in PL intensity, spectral position, and emission linewidth with temperature elevation up to ~500 K, losing a factor of ~8 to 10 in PL intensity at 400 K relative to ambient. Temperature elevation above ~500 K yields thickness dependent, irreversible degradation in optical properties. Electron microscopy relates stability of the NP morphology up to near 600 K followed by sintering and evaporation at still higher temperatures. The mechanism of reversible PL loss, based on differences in decay dynamics between time-resolved photoluminescence and transient absorption, arise primarily from hole trapping in both NPs and sandwich NPs.

Hot-Carrier Relaxation in CdSe/CdS Core/Shell Nanoplatelets

Journal Article Pelton, Matthew ; Wang, Yana ; Fedin, Igor ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Here, we present time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy of a series of colloidal CdSe/CdS core/shell nanoplatelets with different core and shell thicknesses. Exciton numbers are determined from the integrated PI, intensities, and carrier temperatures are determined from the high-energy exponential tail of the PL spectra. For times between 10 and 1000 ps, the measured carrier relaxation dynamics are well described by a simple model of Auger reheating: biexcitonic Auger recombination continually increases the average energy of the carriers (while decreasing their number), and this reheating sets a bottleneck to cooling through electron-phonon coupling. For times between 1 and 10 ps, themore »« less

Molecular Control of the Nanoscale: Effect of Phosphine–Chalcogenide Reactivity on CdS–CdSe Nanocrystal Composition and Morphology

Journal Article Ruberu, T Purnima A. ; Albright, Haley R ; Callis, Brandon ; ... - ACS Nano

We demonstrate molecular control of nanoscale composition, alloying, and morphology (aspect ratio) in CdS–CdSe nanocrystal dots and rods by modulating the chemical reactivity of phosphine–chalcogenide precursors. Specific molecular precursors studied were sulfides and selenides of triphenylphosphite (TPP), diphenylpropylphosphine (DPP), tributylphosphine (TBP), trioctylphosphine (TOP), and hexaethylphosphorustriamide (HPT). Computational (DFT), NMR (31P and 77Se), and high-temperature crossover studies unambiguously confirm a chemical bonding interaction between phosphorus and chalcogen atoms in all precursors. Phosphine–chalcogenide precursor reactivity increases in the order: TPPE < DPPE < TBPE < TOPE < HPTE (E = S, Se). For a given phosphine, the selenide is always more reactivemore »« less

Reducing Optical Gain Threshold in 2D CdSe Nanoplatelets by Giant Oscillator Strength Transition Effect

Journal Article Li, Qiuyang ; Liu, Qiliang ; Schaller, Richard D. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

Two-dimensional CdSe nanoplatelets are promising lasing materials. Their large lateral areas reduce the optical gain threshold by increasing the oscillator strength and multiexciton lifetimes but also increase the gain threshold by requiring multiple band-edge excitons (>2) to reach the optical gain. We observe that the optical gain threshold of CdSe nanoplatelets at 4 K is similar to 4-fold lower than that at room temperature. Transient absorption spectroscopy measurements indicate that the exciton center-of-mass coherent area is smaller than the lateral size at room temperature and extends to nearly the whole nanoplatelets at 4 K. This suggests that the reduction inmore »« less

Time-resolved photoluminescence study of CdSe/CdMnS/CdS core/multi-shell nanoplatelets

Journal Article Murphy, J. R. ; Department of Physics, State University of New York, University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York 14260 ; Delikanli, S. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We used photoluminescence spectroscopy to resolve two emission features in CdSe/CdMnS/CdS and CdSe/CdS core/multi-shell nanoplatelet heterostructures. The photoluminescence from the magnetic sample has a positive circular polarization with a maximum centered at the position of the lower energy feature. The higher energy feature has a corresponding signature in the absorption spectrum; this is not the case for the low-energy feature. We have also studied the temporal evolution of these features using a pulsed-excitation/time-resolved photoluminescence technique to investigate their corresponding recombination channels. A model was used to analyze the temporal dynamics of the photoluminescence which yielded two distinct timescales associated withmore »« less

Effect of lateral size and thickness on the electronic structure and optical properties of quasi two-dimensional CdSe and CdS nanoplatelets

Journal Article Bose, Sumanta ; Fan, W. J., E-mail: ewjfan@ntu.edu.sg ; Zhang, D. H. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The effect of lateral size and vertical thickness of CdSe and CdS nanoplatelets (NPLs) on their electronic structure and optical properties are investigated using an effective-mass envelope function theory based on the 8-band k ⋅ p model with valence force field considerations. Volumetrically larger NPLs have lower photon emission energy due to limited quantum confinement, but a greater transition matrix element (TME) due to larger electron-hole wavefunction overlap. The optical gain characteristics depend on several factors such as TME, Fermi factor, carrier density, NPL dimensions, material composition, and dephasing rate. There is a red shift in the peak position, moremore »« less
