Abstract
We observe the CdSe longitudinal-optical ground-state phonon in the electron transfer system composed of CdSe quantum dots and methylviologen directly by femtosecond absorption spectroscopy. A significant phase shift indicates that the coherent oscillations are triggered by an ultrafast charge migration, which is the consequence of an electron transfer from the photoexcited quantum dot to the molecular acceptor methylviologen. In contrast, the observed coherent phonons in isolated quantum dots stem from the frequency modulation of the quantum dot excited-state spectrum. From the probe wavelength dependence of the longitudinal-optical phonons in the electronic ground state and excited state it is possible to determine a biexciton binding energy of 35meV.
