Abstract

We fabricated colloidal quantum dot (QD) superlattice films and investigated their primal optical properties. The films were prepared by depositing faceted PbS QDs on pyramidal-microhole-array template and flat substrate in solution. The red shift in the quantum state emission of QDs was observed in photoluminescence spectra after film formation, which suggested the weakened quantum confinement of carriers in intermediate bands. Emission decay curves at the excited states in the QD superlattice film were double exponential. The longer lifetime was several tens of nanoseconds and attributed to the carrier delocalization in the intermediate bands. The emission lifetime of the QD film prepared on the template was found to be more than twice as long as that on the flat substrate, which suggested that the template helped to form large area QD superlattice.
