摘要
PbSe/CdSe core/shell quantum dots (QDs) were prepared and investigated as thick films using temperature-dependent photoluminescence. In addition to increased photostability, the CdSe shell leads to a four-fold increase of the activation energy for nonradiative exciton decay for the core/shell QDs compared to that for the bare PbSe QDs. The onset for exponential decay of luminescence is similar to 240 K in the core/shell samples. From further analysis of the temperature-dependent photoluminescence shift and emission line width, we find that the cation exchange reaction broadens the QD size distribution and increases the temperature-independent state broadening. However, the temperature-dependent contribution to the line shape of the core/shell QDs is similar to that in the cores.
