Shell-dependent Thermal Stability of CdSe Core/shell Quantum Dot Photoluminescence
The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CdSe/ZnS (3 ML) core/shell quantum dots (QDs) and CdSe/CdS (3 ML)/ZnCdS (1 ML)/ZnS (2 ML) core/multishell QDs were measured in the temperature range from 80 to 460 K by steady-state PL spectroscopy. The temperature dependence of PL energy
linewidth
and intensity for CdSe QDs was investigated. It is found that the thermal stability of CdSe QD emissions is significantly dependent on the shell structure. The thermal activation energy of CdSe/CdS/ZnCdS/ZnS core/multishell QDs is higher than that of CdSe/ZnS core/shell QDs. Furthermore
the stability of CdSe QDs at high temperature was also examined through heating-cooling cycling experiments. The permanent loss of PL intensity for CdSe/CdS/ZnCdS/ZnS core/multishell QDs is smaller than that of CdSe/ZnS core/shell QDs.
