Shell thickness influence on the carrier dynamics of InP/ZnS QDs

InP/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) have been widely applied in many fields due to their excellent luminescence performance. In this study, the correlation between the ZnS shell thickness and the ultrafast carrier dynamics in InP/ZnS QDs was investigated by using femtosecond time-resolved transien...

description InP/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) have been widely applied in many fields due to their excellent luminescence performance. In this study, the correlation between the ZnS shell thickness and the ultrafast carrier dynamics in InP/ZnS QDs was investigated by using femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence techniques. We found that a thicker ZnS shell could confine more carriers to the InP core, thus effectively weakening the interactions between the carriers in the core and the interfacial defect states; this further enhanced the quantum yields and photoluminescence properties in InP/ZnS QDs.
