The electroluminescence is mainly attributed to exciplex confirmed by photoluminescence and electroluminescence measurements, and the type of exicplex is deternfined in terms of the energy level diagram of the bilayer devices, By comparing the molecular structures and energy levels of TPD and NPB, it is demonstrated that the structure of a molecule as well as its energy level has an effect on the exciplex formation.展开更多

We find that the (A<SUP>0</SUP>,X) complex confined in a quantum dot has in general a larger binding energy than those in a two-dimensional quantum well and a three-dimensional bulk semiconductor, and the binding energy decreases with the increase of the electron-to-hole mass ratio.展开更多

When the momentum distributions of the exciton states are taken into account, the pre-formation probability of light composite particles could be improved, and the exciton state-dependent pre-formation probability has been proposed. The calculated results indicate that the consideration of the momentum distribution enhances the pre-formation probability of [1, m] configuration, and suppresses that of [ι 〉 1, m] configurations seriously.展开更多

Many solar-to-fuel conversion reactions, such as H2 evolution and CO2 reduction, require multiple sequential electron transfer processes, which leads to a complicated situation that excited states involves not only excitons （electron-hole pairs） but also multi-excitons and charged excitons. While long-lived excitons can be obtained in various systems （e.g., semiconductor nanocrystals）, multi-excitons and charged excitons are typically shorted-lived due to nonradiative Auger recombination pathways whereby the recombination energy of an exciton is quickly transferred to the third carrier on a few to hundreds of picoseconds timescale. In this work, we report a study of excitons, trions （an exciton plus an additional charge）, and biexcitons in CdSe/CdTe colloidal quantum wells or nanoplatelets. The type- II band alignment effectively separates electrons and holes in space, leading to a single exciton lifetime of 340 ns which is -2 order of magnitudes longer than that in plane CdSe nanoplatelets. More importantly, the electron-hole separation also dramatically slows down Auger decay, giving rise to a trion lifetime of 70 ns and a biexciton lifetime of 11 ns, among the longest values ever reported for colloidal nanocrystals. The long-lived exciton, trion, and biexciton states, combined with the intrinsically strong light-absorption capability of two-dimensional systems, enable the CdSe/CdTe type-II nanoplatelets as promising light harvesters for efficient solar-to-fuel conversion reactions.展开更多
