摘要
Electronic absorption spectroscopy has been used to study changes in Co2+ ligand-field parameters as a function of alloy composition in Co2+-doped Cd1-xZnxSe nanocrystals. A shift in the energy of the T-4(1)(P) excited-state with alloy composition is observed. Analysis reveals that Co2+-Se2- bond lengths change relatively little as the host is varied continuously from CdSe to ZnSe, generating a large difference between microscopic and average cation-anion bond lengths in Co2+-doped CdSe nanocrystals but not in Co2+-doped ZnSe nanocrystals. The bimodal bond-length distributions observed here are shown to cause a diameter-dependent enthalpic destabilization of doped semiconductor nanocrystals.
