The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CdSe-core CdS/CdZnS/ZnS-multishell quantum dots (QDs) were studied to understand the radiative and nonradiative relaxation processes in the temperature range from 80 to 360 K. The mechanism of temperature-dependent nonradiative relaxation processes in the CdSe QDs with changing the shell structures was found to evolve from thermal activation of carrier trapping by surface defects/traps in CdSe core QDs to the multiple longitudinal-optical (LO) phonon-assisted thermal escape of carriers in the core/shell QDs. An increase in PL intensity with increasing temperature was clearly observed in the core/shell QDs with a thick CdS monoshell and a CdS/ZnCdS/ZnS multishell. The PL enhancement was considered to come from delocalization of charge carriers localized at the CdSe/CdS interface with the potential depth of ∼30 meV. The experimental results indicated that the improvement of PL quantum efficiency in CdSe-core CdS/CdZnS/ZnS-multishell QDs could be understood in terms of t...
