Abstract

Intensity, temperature and frequency-dependent photoabsorption spectroscopy are used to probe trap states in CdSo.44Seo.56 nanoparticles in glass. The photoabsorption signal from 6.2 nm radius particles is found to be a combination of two effects: bleaching, due to phase space filling, and an electric-field effect. Frequency-dependent photoabsorption data show that the electric-field effect is caused by a long-lived (r=30 /µs at T=293 K) trap state and that the bleaching occurs on a faster time scale. The trap activation energy obtained from the temperature dependence of the lifetime is 0.23 ±0.06 eV. Only bleaching is observed in the smaller nanocrystallites.
