| Popis: | The relaxation dynamics of charge carriers in 4 nm CdS colloidal quantum dots are studied by means of picosecond time-resolved fluorescence and femtosecond transient absorption experiments. We also studied the effects of the adsorption of viologen derivatives as electron acceptors on the surface of these particles. From these experimental measurements, we reached a model of the electron-hole dynamics in these nanoparticles consistent with previous proposals. In particular, we have confirmed that the electron trapping in these particles is slower than the hole trapping (30 ps versus a few picoseconds). After excitation, rapid formation of an optical hole (bleach) within the lowest energy exciton (band gap) absorption region appears. The maximum of the bleaching band is red-shifted by 20 meV in 2.5 ps, and the bleach intensity recovers in 30 ps. Upon the adsorption of electron acceptors, the rate of the red shift of the optical hole is not affected while the bleach recovery time is reduced to a few picoseco... |
