Abstract
A novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach to the design of the single-photon sources emitting in the spectral regions of 1060 and 1337 nm was developed. A unique hybrid structure based on colloidal CdSe/CdS/ZnS nanocrystals and neodymium(III) 1,3-diketonate was created. Direct energy transfer from the CdSe/CdS/ZnS single nanocrystal to the near-infrared (NIR) luminescent Nd(III) complex was observed and investigated by spectroscopic methods. The single-photon emission mode was confirmed for the novel hybrid source by Hanbury Brown and Twiss experiments.
