Photoluminescence of PdS₂ and PdSe₂ quantum dots.

ABSTRACT: Group-10 transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials have recently attracted considerable attention in optoelectronics applications. However, so far their quantum dot (QD) counterparts with photoluminescence (PL) nature still remain to be revealed. In this study, 2 typical types of group-10 TMD material (PdS₂ and PdSe₂) QDs are fabricated via liquid exfoliation using N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent. The absorption and PL spectra of these QD solutions are studied, exhibiting excitation wavelength-dependent behaviors and large Stokes shifts. Furthermore, the quantum yield and decay lifetime are also investigated and analyzed. The obtained results suggest promising optoelectronic applications with group-10 TMD QDs in the future.

Temperature- and Size-Dependent Photoluminescence of CuInS2 Quantum Dots.

Project description:We present the results of a temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy study on CuInS2 quantum dots (QDs). In order to elucidate the influence of QD size on PL temperature dependence, size-selective precipitation was used to obtain several nanoparticle fractions. Additionally, the nanoparticles' morphology and chemical composition were studied using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The obtained QDs showed luminescence in the visible-near infrared range. The PL energy, linewidth, and intensity were studied within an 11-300 K interval. For all fractions, a temperature decrease led to a shift in the emission maximum to higher energies and pronounced growth of the PL intensity down to 75-100 K. It was found that for large particle fractions, the PL intensity started to decrease, with temperature decreasing below 75 K, while the PL intensity of small nanoparticles remained stable.

Size Effect of Graphene Quantum Dots on Photoluminescence.

Project description:High-photoluminescence (PL) graphene quantum dots (GQDs) were synthesized by a simple one-pot hydrothermal process, then separated by dialysis bags of different molecular weights. Four separated GQDs of varying sizes were obtained and displayed different PL intensities. With the decreasing size of separated GQDs, the intensity of the emission peak becomes much stronger. Finally, the GQDs of the smallest size revealed the most energetic PL intensity in four separated GQDs. The PL energy of all the separated GQDs shifted slightly, supported by density functional theory calculations.

Phonon-assisted up-conversion photoluminescence of quantum dots.

Project description:Phonon-assisted up-conversion photoluminescence can boost energy of an emission photon to be higher than that of the excitation photon by absorbing vibration energy (or phonons) of the emitter. Here, up-conversion photoluminescence power-conversion efficiency (power ratio between the emission and excitation photons) for CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots is observed to be beyond unity. Instead of commonly known defect-assisted up-conversion photoluminescence for colloidal quantum dots, temperature-dependent measurements and single-dot spectroscopy reveal the up-conversion photoluminescence and conventional down-conversion photoluminescence share the same electron-phonon coupled electronic states. Ultrafast spectroscopy results imply the thermalized excitons for up-conversion photoluminescence form within 200 fs, which is 100,000 times faster than the radiative recombination rate of the exciton. Results suggest that colloidal quantum dots can be exploited as efficient, stable, and cost-effective emitters for up-conversion photoluminescence in various applications.

Quantum octets in high mobility pentagonal two-dimensional PdSe2.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) materials have drawn immense interests in scientific and technological communities, owing to their extraordinary properties and their tunability by gating, proximity, strain and external fields. For electronic applications, an ideal 2D material would have high mobility, air stability, sizable band gap, and be compatible with large scale synthesis. Here we demonstrate air stable field effect transistors using atomically thin few-layer PdSe2 sheets that are sandwiched between hexagonal BN (hBN), with large saturation current > 350 μA/μm, and high field effect mobilities of ~ 700 and 10,000 cm2/Vs at 300 K and 2 K, respectively. At low temperatures, magnetotransport studies reveal unique octets in quantum oscillations that persist at all densities, arising from 2-fold spin and 4-fold valley degeneracies, which can be broken by in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic fields toward quantum Hall spin and orbital ferromagnetism.

AgCl-doped CdSe quantum dots with near-IR photoluminescence.

Project description:We report the synthesis of colloidal CdSe quantum dots doped with a novel Ag precursor: AgCl. The addition of AgCl causes dramatic changes in the morphology of synthesized nanocrystals from spherical nanoparticles to tetrapods and finally to large ellipsoidal nanoparticles. Ellipsoidal nanoparticles possess an intensive near-IR photoluminescence ranging up to 0.9 eV (ca. 1400 nm). In this article, we explain the reasons for the formation of the ellipsoidal nanoparticles as well as the peculiarities of the process. The structure, Ag content, and optical properties of quantum dots are also investigated. The optimal conditions for maximizing both the reaction yield and IR photoluminescence quantum yield are found.

Research on the photoluminescence properties of Cu2+-doped perovskite CsPbCl3 quantum dots.

Project description:CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, and I) quantum dots (QDs) and Cu2+-doped CsPbCl3 QDs with different Cu-to-Pb molar ratios were synthesized via a solvent-based thermal synthesis method. The photoluminescence (PL) properties of these Cu2+-doped CsPbCl3 QDs were also investigated in this study. The results showed that with the increase in the Cl- concentration the surface defects of CsPb(Cl/Br)3 QDs increased, which resulted in an increase in the non-radiative recombination of excitons and weakened the PL intensity. Moreover, Cu2+-doped CsPbCl3 QDs maintained the cubic crystal structure of the initial phases. Owing to the doping of Cu2+ ions, the surface defects of CsPbCl3 QDs were effectively eliminated, which facilitated the excitonic recombination via a radiative pathway. The PL quantum yields (PLQYs) of Cu2+-doped CsPbCl3 QDs were increased to 51%, showing great photostability. From the results, it is believed that Cu:CsPbCl3 QDs can be widely used in optoelectronic devices.

Coupled Charge Transfer Dynamics and Photoluminescence Quenching in Monolayer MoS2 Decorated with WS2 Quantum Dots.

Project description:Herein, we have investigated the tunability of the photoluminescence (PL) of the monolayer MoS2 (1L-MoS2) by decorating it with WS2 quantum dots (WS2 QD). The direct bandgap 1L-MoS2 and WS2 QDs are grown by chemical vapor deposition and liquid exfoliation methods, respectively. The room temperature PL spectrum of bare 1L-MoS2 is systematically quenched with its decoration with WS2 QDs at different concentrations. A decrease in the work function of 1L-MoS2 with the decoration of WS2 QDs was established from the Kelvin probe force microscopy analysis. A detailed quantitative analysis using the four-energy level model involving coupled charge transfer was employed to explain the redshift and the systematic decrease in the intensity of the PL peak in 1L-MoS2/WS2 QD heterostructure. The modulation of the PL in the heterostructure is attributed to the increase in the formation of negative trions through the charge transfer from WS2 QD to the 1L-MoS2 and thus making the 1L-MoS2 heavily n-type doped, with increase in the electron density by ~1.5 × 1013 cm-2. This study establishes the contribution of defects in the coupled charge transfer dynamics in 1L-MoS2, and it lays out a convenient strategy to manipulate the optical and electrical properties of 1L-MoS2 for various optoelectronic applications.

Origin of photoluminescence of water-soluble CuInS2 quantum dots prepared via a hydrothermal method.

Project description:This study was performed to investigate the origin of the photoluminescence (PL) properties of hydrothermally-synthesized water-soluble CuInS2 (CIS) quantum dots (QDs). The corresponding PL decay profiles, time-resolved PL spectra, and excitation intensity dependence of the PL spectra were evaluated. The decay profiles exhibited a strong dependence on the detection energy, and the peak of the time-resolved PL spectra shifted to lower energies with increasing time. With increasing excitation light intensity, the PL peak shifted to the high-energy side. These experimental results were consistent with the characteristics of donor-acceptor pair emission. The PL properties of Cu-doped and non-doped CdSe QDs, which show Cu-related and defect-related PL emission, respectively, were compared. Based on these results, it was concluded that donor-acceptor pair emission is the underlying mechanism of the PL of the hydrothermally-synthesized water-soluble CIS QDs.

Defect-induced photoluminescence blinking of single epitaxial InGaAs quantum dots.

Project description:Here we report two types of defect-induced photoluminescence (PL) blinking behaviors observed in single epitaxial InGaAs quantum dots (QDs). In the first type of PL blinking, the "off" period is caused by the trapping of hot electrons from the higher-lying excited state (absorption state) to the defect site so that its PL rise lifetime is shorter than that of the "on" period. For the "off" period in the second type of PL blinking, the electrons relax from the first excited state (emission state) into the defect site, leading to a shortened PL decay lifetime compared to that of the "on" period. This defect-induced exciton quenching in epitaxial QDs, previously demonstrated also in colloidal nanocrystals, confirms that these two important semiconductor nanostructures could share the same PL blinking mechanism.

Colloidal Organometal Halide Perovskite (MAPbBrxI3-x, 0≤x≤3) Quantum Dots: Controllable Synthesis and Tunable Photoluminescence.

Project description:Organic-inorganic perovskite materials, typically methylammonium lead trihalide (MAPbX3: MA = methylammonium; X = Br, I), are recently attract enormous attention for their distinguished photo-electronic properties. The control of morphology, composition and dispersability of MAPbX3 perovskite nanocrystals is crucial for the property tailoring and still a major challenge. Here we report the synthesis of colloidal MAPbBrxI3-x(0 ≤ x ≤ 3) nanocrystals at room temperature by using alkyl carboxylate as capping ligands. These nanocrystals exhibit continuously tunable UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) across the visible spectrum, which is attributed to the quantum confinement effect with certain stoichiometry. Their unique exciton recombination dynamics was investigated and discussed.
