胶体导体量子点(QD)的特征性质是它们的发射不稳定性。虽然量子点光过程的统一理论仍然难以捉摸,但带电状态的重要性是显而易见的。我们现在报告了一种新的方法来直接研究表面电荷对量子点发射的作用,通过将金属离子添加到单独的、仅核量子点固定在琼脂糖凝胶中的水溶液中。在没有金属离子存在的情况下,CdTe量子点具有非常稳定的发射,但是由于三价金属离子的存在,闪烁显著且可逆地增加。我们的结果支持电荷分离模型,其中闪烁的主要途径是表面捕获的电子,瞬时绑定的金属离子剂量到量子点表面增强这一过程。
A characteristic property of colloidal conductor nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) is their emission intermittency. Although a unifying theory of QD photo processes remains elusive, the importance of charged states is clear. We now report a new approach to directly study the role of surface charge on QD emission by adding metal ions to individual, core-only QDs immobilized in aqueous solution in an agarose gel. The CdTe QDs shbw very stable emission in the absence of metal ions but a dramatic and reversible increase in blinking due to the resence of trivalent metal ions. Our results support a charge-separation model, in which the major blinking pathway is the surface trapping of electrons; transiently bound metal ions dose to the QD surface enhance this process.
