Pokročilá spektroskopická charakterizace souborů kvantových teček / Advanced spectroscopic characterization of quantum dot ensembles

Title: Advanced spectroscopic characterization of quantum dot ensembles Author: Michael Greben Department: Department of Chemical Physics and Optics Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: Prof. Jan Valenta, Ph.D. Abstract: Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are small crystallites whose sizes (of the order of nm) cause spatial confinement of carriers in all 3 dimensions. As result, QDs often reveal very different physical properties in comparison with their bulk counterparts. From the optical point of view, the broadening of bandgap with QD-size shrinking is particularly interesting. It is a purely quantum mechanical effect that results from quantum confinement (QC), i.e. dimensional limitations of excitons. A strong spatial confinement leads to a relaxation of momentum (Heisenberg uncertainty principle), consequently, larger overlap of the wave-functions of carriers results in significant increase of probability of radiative recombination. Therefore ensembles of QDs are promising candidates for new generations of photonic and photovoltaic devices. This PhD thesis is primary focused on detailed spectroscopic characterization of ensembles of direct (PbS) and indirect (Si) semiconductor QDs in both colloidal (toluene) and matrix-embedded (oxide or oxinitrides multilayers) forms. The oleic- acid capped PbS QDs were...
