Abstract

The photoluminescence of colloidal Mn2+-doped CdSe nanocrystals has been studied as a function of nanocrystal diameter. These nanocrystals are shown to be unique among colloidal doped semiconductor nanocrystals reported to date in that quantum confinement allows tuning of the CdSe bandgap energy across the Mn2+ excited-state energies. At small diameters, the nanocrystal photoluminescence is dominated by Mn2+ emission. At large diameters, CdSe excitonic photoluminescence dominates. The latter scenario has allowed spin-polarized excitonic photoluminescence to be observed in colloidal doped semiconductor nanocrystals for the first time.

Michael A. White, Amanda L. Weaver, Rémi Beaulac, and Daniel R. GamelinACS Nano2011 5 (5), 4158-4168Auger processes in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have been scrutinized extensively in recent years. Whether involving electron−exciton, hole−exciton, or exciton−exciton interactions, such Auger processes are generally fast and hence have been ...

Angshuman Nag, Roby Cherian, Priya Mahadevan, Achanta Venu Gopal, Abhijit Hazarika, Akshatha Mohan, A. S. Vengurlekar, and D. D. SarmaThe Journal of Physical Chemistry C2010 114 (43), 18323-18329We show that the characteristic Mn2+ d emission color from Mn2+-doped CdS nanocrystals can be tuned over as much as 40 nm, in contrast to what should be expected from such a nearly localized d−d transition. This is achieved surprisingly by a fine-tuning ...
