The power-dependent relaxation dynamics of photoexcited charge carriers in a number of II-VI semiconductor quantum dots have been studied using femtosecond laser spectroscopy. The dynamics are obtained via excitation of the quantum dots with high power 390 nm pulses of 150 fs duration, and probing of the photoexcited species by monitoring the change in absorption at 790 nm as a function of time. Particles with vastly differing surfaces, sizes, electronic structures, and solvents all show a fast 1.5–4 picosecond decay component which grows in with power, a 17 ps (CdSe) or 50 ps (CdS and Cd0.5Zn0.5S) decay component, and some transient absorption persisting beyond 600 ps. The power-dependent component for CdSe quantum dots in glass has a 1.5 ps decay time constant, while for the liquid dispersed CdS and Cd0.5Zn0.5S quantum dots it has 2–4 ps decay time constants. This variation in the time constant is due to its power dependence, the time constant decreases with increasing power. It is also shown that the p...
