Abstract

Abstract The dynamics of electronic excitation in hybrid associates of colloidal CdS quantum dots passivated by thioglycolic acid (CdS/TGA) with methylene blue cationic dye molecules (MB + ) was studied by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and nanosecond time-resolved spectroscopy. From the luminescence decays it was found that non-radiative resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the recombination luminescence centers accompanied by acceptor fluorescence is observed in the CdS/TGA-MB + systems with MB + monomers. It was found that in the exciton decay dynamics of the hybrid systems based on CdS/TGA QDs and methylene blue, there is substantial competition between the resonance energy transfer in MB + and the energy transfer to MB • and MBOH • forms.
