摘要
We have spectrally resolved the Intraband transient absorption of photogenerated excitons to quantity the exciton population dynamics in colloidal PbSe quantum dots (QDs). These measurements demonstrate that the spectral distribution, as well as the amplitude, of the transient spectrum depends on the number of excitons excited In a QD. To accurately quantify the average number of excitons per QD, the transient spectrum must be spectrally Integrated. With spectral Integration, we observe efficient multiple exciton generation in colloidal PbSe QDs.
