摘要
Using the spectral methods of induced absorption, luminescence, and photostimulated luminescence flash, we have experimentally investigated processes of decay of electronic excitations in CdS colloidal quantum dots and in CdS/ZnS "core-shell" systems synthesized in gelatin by the sol-gel method. It has been shown that the decay of electronic excitations in colloidal quantum dots of this type is predominantly related to a fast localization of nonequilibrium charge carriers on surface defects and their subsequent recombination during times on the order of units and tens of picoseconds. The passage to core-shell systems eliminates, to a large extent, surface defects of the core, some of which are luminescence centers. However, upon using the sol-gel synthesis, a noticeable fraction of luminescence centers are formed in the interior of the CdS quantum dot, which, as well as in the case of CdS/ZnS systems, ensures localization of exciton, blocks its direct annihilation, and maintains recombination radiation.
