Energy Transfer In Cdse Nanoplatelet Superlattices, Kelly Wang, Jordan Snaider, Libai Huang

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

Two-dimension CdSe semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) exhibit unique, highly desirable optical and electronic properties, such as large absorption crossection and bright emission. Fӧrster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between NPLs is responsible for the utility of these NPLs in fields such as lasing, lighting, solar energy, and sensing. Here we study energy transfer processes in NPL superlattices using photoluminescence (PL) and time resolved PL (TRPL) spectroscopic methods. Information on the effect of thickness of NPL is obtained through correlating PL and TRPL spectra of CdSe superlattices with AFM measurements. PL spectrum showed narrow fluorescence and absorption peaks at room temperature corresponding to …
