Abstract
Photoexcited carrier dynamics in thin CdSe nanocrystalline films prepared by chemical bath deposition are strongly dependent on the deposition parameters. In this paper, we show how an increase in concentration of CdSO 4 in deposition bath affects the photoexcited carrier dynamics in nanocrystals. We used ultrafast absorption and photoluminescence laser spectroscopy to compare the carrier dynamics in samples prepared with and without increased CdSO 4 concentration. We have found that in the Cd-rich samples the spectral dependences of both photoluminescence and absorption dynamics are considerably less pronounced and the dynamics are slower. The observed effects were explained by the suppression of surface mediated carrier relaxation due to the passivation of individual nanocrystals by cadmium hydroxide and/or by sulphatocomplexes of Cd 2+.
