The core/shell nanocrystals with original ligands possessed near unity photoluminescence （PL） quantum yield and single-exponential PL decay dynamics. The effects of thiol ligands on optical properties were found to depend on the shell thickness, environment （with/without oxygen）, and excitation power （single- or multi-exciton）. Systematic and quantitative results reported in this work should provide necessary information for fundamental understanding and technical applications of quantum dots （QDs） coated with thiol ligands.展开更多
