摘要
The size-dependent transient photoconductivity in CdSe nanoparticles (NPs) has been investigated using time-resolved THz spectroscopy (TRTS). We find that the mobility increases with an r(4) dependence for NPs in the strong confinement regime and is governed by a restricted mean free path for NPs in the weak confinement regime. The photoexcited carriers undergo ballistic transport to the surface of the NPs. The average number of electron-hole pairs generated in the NPs falls into three distinct groupings based on the NP radius.
