Non-radiative relaxation processes in luminescence of InP/ZnS quantum dots
2020
Photoluminescence (PL) thermal quenching of InP/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals of 4.2 (QD-1) and 4.6 (QD-2) nm in diameter is investigated in the temperature range of 6.5-296 K. Observed PL spectra are found to originate from exciton and defect-related transitions. Temperature behavior of the emission bands indicates effects of inhomogeneous broadening due to distributions of quantum dots parameters in the ensembles. PL thermal quenching analysis unveils two non-radiative relaxation channels for each band in both samples. Activation energies of 130 and 119 meV in QD-1 and QD-2, correspondingly, for the exciton band can be assigned to the bright-bright splitting of the exciton fine structure.
