Unraveling Size Dependent Bi- and Tri-Exciton Characteristics in CdSe/CdS Core/Shell Quantum Dots via Ensemble Time Gated Heralded Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Multiexcitons in quantum dots (QDs) manifest many-body interactions under quantum confinement and are significant in numerous optoelectronic and quantum applications. Yet, the strong interactions between multiexcitons leading to rapid non-radiative Auger decay introduce challenges for their characterization. While so far, the measurement techniques rely either on indirect methods or on single particle studies, herein a new method is introduced to study multiexcitons in QD ensembles utilizing spectrally resolved time-gated heralded spectroscopy. With this approach, the biexciton binding energies is extracted in CdSe/CdS QD ensembles of several core/shell sizes, manifesting a transition between attractive to repulsive exciton-exciton interactions. Additionally, for triexcitons, involving occ
