Temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties of quaternary ZnAgInS quantum dots
Abstract:
A series of ZnAgInS (ZAIS) quantum dots were synthesized and their optical properties were tuned by adjusting the reaction times from 5 to 30 min. The emission spectra were observed ranging from 619 to 667 nm. The temperature-dependent photoluminescence properties of ZAIS QDs were investigated from 10 K to 300 K that show a blue shift of spectra line with increasing intensity as well as broadening of spectral line owing to the coupling of the carrier to acoustic phonon. We have also discussed and investigated the internal luminescence mechanism of ZAIS QDs.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
