Abstract
Time-resolved and static spectroscopic results on GaSe nanoparticle aggregates are presented to elucidate the exciton relaxation and diffusion dynamics. These results are obtained in room-temperature TOP/TOPO solutions at various concentrations. The aggregate absorption spectra are interpreted in terms of electrostatic coupling and covalent interactions between particles. The spectra at various concentrations may then be interpreted in terms of aggregate distributions calculated from a simple equilibrium model. These distributions are used to interpret concentration-dependent emission anisotropy kinetics and time-dependent emission spectral shifts. The emission spectra are reconstructed from the static emission spectra and decay kinetics obtained at a range of wavelengths. The results indicate that the aggregate z axis persistence length is about 9 particles. The results also show that the one-dimensional exciton diffusion coefficient is excitation wavelength dependent and has a value of about 2 x 10(-5) cm(2)/s following 406 nm excitation. Although exciton diffusion results in very little energy relaxation, subsequent hopping of trapped electron/hole pairs occurs by a Forster mechanism and strongly red shifts the emission spectrum.
