Electron–Phonon Coupling in CdSe/CdS Core/Shell Quantum Dots

Abstract: Resonance Raman spectra and excitation profiles have been measured and semiquantitatively modeled for core/shell quantum dots consisting of 2.7 nm diameter zincblende CdSe cores and thin (0.5 nm) or thick (1.6 nm) CdS shells. The Raman spectra show previously reported trends of increased peak frequency for both the CdSe and the CdS longitudinal optical (LO) phonons with increasing shell thickness. We also find a strong dependence of the peak CdS frequency on excitation energy and a large discrepancy between th… Show more

“…CdSe QDs in the size range from 2.8-5.2 nm, when excited near the lowest excitonic absorption, 29,[31][32][33] show a single well defined Raman peak in the LO phonon region with a frequency of 203-207 cm -1 and a full width at half maximum that does not exceed about 20 cm -1 including the effects of instrumental broadening and the distribution of sizes and shapes found in real samples. All three potentials give Raman spectra in reasonably good agreement with experiment for the larger QDs (Fig.…”

“…45 The present treatment also ignores vibrational anharmonicities and calculates the vibrational properties at zero temperature. The measured anharmonicity of the LO phonon mode in CdSe nanocrystals is very small as estimated from overtone frequencies, 32 although the temperature dependence of the LO phonon frequency at higher temperatures suggests that anharmonic coupling to lower-frequency phonons is not negligible. 49,50 Again, while finitetemperature effects may modify the quantitative results obtained here, it is likely that the qualitative behavior of the force fields is adequately captured by the zero-temperature calculations.…”
