Abstrakt: The emissive properties of thiol-capped CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) with intrinsic dual emission are investigated through temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements. We demonstrate the influence of thiols on the relative PL intensities of the core and surface emissive states, as well as on the observed Stokes shifts. A redshift of both the core and surface PL in comparison with phosphonate-capped NCs is consistent with recent work exploring the effect of thiols as excitonic hole-delocalizing ligands. This observation is consistent with prior reports suggesting that surface excitons originate from electrons bound to cadmium trap states.
