Carrier relaxation is found faster in the conduction band of the CdS shell （about 130 fs） than that in the conduction band of the CdSe core （about 400 fs）. From the experiments it is distinctly demonstrated the existence of the defect states in the interface between the CdSe core and the CdS shell, indicating that ultrafast spectroscopy might be a suitable tool in studying interface and surface morphology properties in nanosystems.展开更多
