  • Descrição: Using ultrafast transient absorption and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopies, we studied multiple exciton generation (MEG) in quantum dots (QDs) consisting of either PbSe, PbS, or a PbS sub(x)Se sub(1-x) alloy for various QD diameters with corresponding bandgaps (E sub(g)) ranging from 0.6 to 1 eV. For each QD sample, we determine the MEG efficiency, eta sub(MEG), defined in terms of the electron-hole pair creation energy ( epsilon sub(eh)) such that eta sub(MEG) = E sub(g)/ epsilon sub(eh). In previous reports, we found that eta sub(MEG) is about two times greater in PbSe QDs compared to bulk PbSe, however, little could be said about the QD-size dependence of MEG. In this study, we find for both PbS and PbS sub(x)Se sub(1-x) alloyed QDs that eta sub(MEG) decreases lineally with increasing QD diameter within the strong confinement regime. When the QD radius is normalized by a material-dependent characteristic radius, defined as the radius at which the electron-hole Coulomb and confinement energies are equivalent, PbSe, PbS, and PbS sub(x)Se sub(1-x) exhibit similar MEG behaviors. Our results suggest that MEG increases with quantum confinement, and we discuss the interplay between a size-dependent MEG rate versus hot exciton cooling.
