Abstract

The ultrafast carrier dynamics in CuInS2 (CIS) quantum dots (QDs) was studied by means of femtosecond transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The size-dependent 1S transition energy determined from bleaching spectra is in agreement with that calculated on the finite-depth-well model in the effective mass approximation. The TA bleaching comes from filling of electron quantized levels, allowing us to know the dynamics of the 1S electron in CIS QDs. The sub-100-ps electron trapping at surface defects in bare QDs accelerates with decreasing QD size, while is effectively suppressed in well-passivated CIS/ZnS core/shell QDs.
