(a) Temporally and spectrally resolved single exciton PL from a 1.6-nm-radius CdSe NC ensemble at 2.6 K and (b) at 80 K. Here, lower sample temperature results in a faster emission feature as well as a spectral shift to lower energy with time. (c),(d) Time-resolved spectra collected at the indicated temperatures and binned over the indicated time delays reveal a redshift with increasing time at 2.6 K that is not observed at 80 K. Spectra are linearly offset for clarity. The black vertical lines indicate the peak emission amplitude of the 320–340 ps time-binned spectrum. (e),(f) Spectrally resolved PL dynamics become biexponential for shorter PL wavelengths in the case of the lower sample temperature.Reuse & Permissions
