Abstract
Presynthesized CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) are two-dimensionally (2D) and epitaxially fused in solution to form a CdS nanoplatelet with multiple epitaxially embedded CdSe QDs (CdSe@CdS coupled-dots@platelet). In addition to providing spatial confinement for the excitonic states of multiple CdSe QDs in a CdS nanoplatelet, the continuous and single-crystalline nanoplatelet with controlled thickness enables quantum coupling between the CdSe QDs, resulting in inhomogeneous-free optical properties for the colloidal CdSe@CdS coupled-dots@nanoplatelets with bright photoluminescence. The results here suggest that solution synthesis can offer a simple means to obtain semiconductor nanocrystals for realizing unique yet complex excitonic properties that are otherwise difficult to achieve.
