CdSe QDs transfer electrons from band-edge and surface states to TiO2; core/shell CdSe/ZnS QDs transfer electrons exclusively from band-edge states.

We investigate the photoelectron transfer rate from PbS@CdS core@shell QDs to wide bandgap mesoporous films using photoluminescence lifetime spectroscopy, which is strongly size, shell thickness and oxide dependent.

Conduction band edge dependent photoluminescence (PL) quenching by electron transfer was observed. PL from silicon quantum dots (Si QDs) was quenched by 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-dinitrobutane (DMNB), however PL from cadmium selenide (CdSe QDs) was not quenched by DMNB.

Semiconductor materials are widely used in both optically and electrically pumped lasers. The use of semiconductor quantum wells (QWs) as optical-gain media has resulted in important advances in laser technology. QWs have a two-dimensional, step-like density of electronic states that is nonzero at the band edge, enabling a higher concentration of carriers to contribute to the band-edge emission and leading to a reduced lasing threshold, improved temperature stability, and a narrower emission line. A further enhancement in the density of the band-edge states and an associated reduction in the lasing threshold are in principle possible using quantum wires and quantum dots (QDs), in which the confinement is in two and three dimensions, respectively. In very small dots, the spacing of the electronic states is much greater than the available thermal energy (strong confinement), inhibiting thermal depopulation of the lowest electronic states. This effect should result in a lasing threshold that is temperatureinsensitive at an excitation level of only 1 electron-hole (e-h) pair per dot on average. Additionally, QDs in the strongconfinement regime have an emission wavelength that is a pronounced function of size, adding the advantage of continuous spectral tunability over a wide energy range simply by changing the size of the dots.
