Exciton Relaxation Dynamics in Photo-Excited CsPbI3 Perovskite Nanocrystals.

The exciton relaxation process of CsPbI3 perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) has been investigated by using transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The hot exciton relaxation process is confirmed to exist in the CsPbI3 NCs, through comparing the TA data of CsPbI3 NCs in low and high energy excitonic states. In addition, the Auger recombination and intrinsic decay paths also participate in the relaxation process of CsPbI3 NCs, even the number of exciton per NC is estimated to be less than 1. Excitation intensity-dependent TA data further confirms the existence of Auger recombination. Meanwhile, the spectral data also confirms that the weight of hot exciton also increase together with that of Auger recombination at high excitation intensity when CsPbI3 NCs in high energy excitonic states.

Emission and energy transfer characteristics of coumarin 6 molecules doped in opal polymer photonic crystal

The emission of coumarin 6(C-6) doped in opal polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) photonic crystal(PC) was effectively manipulated. Meanwhile the energy transfer(ET) of C-6 in PCs, which are infiltrated with sulforhodamine B(S-B), was influenced by the concentration of energy acceptor in solution, the size of PMMA microsphere(SM) and the photonic stop band(PSB). The results should be beneficial to people to further understand the potential application of PCs in optoelectronic fields.

Spontaneous emission of semiconductor quantum dots in inverse opal SiO2 photonic crystals at different temperatures

The photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) infiltrated into inverse opal SiO2 photonic crystals (PCs) are systemically studied. The special porous structure of inverse opal PCs enhanced the thermal exchange rate between the CdSe QDs and their surrounding environment. Finally, inverse opal SiO2 PCs suppressed the nonlinear PL enhancement of CdSe QDs in PCs excited by a continuum laser and effectively modulated the PL characteristics of CdSe QDs in PCs at high temperatures in comparison with that of CdSe QDs out of PCs. The final results are of benefit in further understanding the role of inverse opal PCs on the PL characteristics of QDs.
