Popis: CdS quantum dots under weak confinement conditions embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer film have been studied in the presence of an external electrical field at different densities of photoexcited carriers. Applying an external electric field strength of 5 × 104 V/cm, the observed absorption change δα/α in this material is ≈ 7%. At high laser excitation the electric field separates the laser excited carriers and the change in absorption is attributed to a compensation of the many-particle interaction by the external electrical field. A restoring of the oscillator strength is observed and explained by screening effects of the polarization fields in the interface region due to the photogenerated electron-hole pairs.
