Figure 5 shows the typical features and spectra of the samples used inthis study for InAs nanocrystals with a mean radius of 2.5 nm. The absorptiononset exhibits an f0.8-eV blue shift from the bulk bandgap. A pronouncedfirst peak and several features at higher energies are observed in the absorptionspectra. Band-edge photoluminescence (PL) is observed with no significantred-shifted (deep-trapped) emission. We utilize the size-selective PLEmethod to examine the level structure. In this particular example, the de-Figure 5 Optical spectroscopy of InAs nanocrystals with mean radii of 2.5 nm.The top frame shows the absorption (solid line) and the PL (dotted line) spectra ofthe sample. The lower frame shows a size-selected PLE spectrum measured with anarrow detection window positioned as indicated <strong>by</strong> the arrow in the top panel.Eight transitions are resolved and the positions are extracted <strong>by</strong> peak fitting (thesolid line is the best fit). The weak transition E 2 is not resolved in this QD size.<strong>Copyright</strong> <strong>2004</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Marcel</strong> <strong>Dekker</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. <strong>All</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> <strong>Reserved</strong>.
