Abstract

We use time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) kinetics and PL intensity measurements to study the decay of photoexcitations in colloidal CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals grafted on SiO2Si substrates with a wide range of the SiO2 spacer layer thicknesses. The salient features of experimental observations are found to be in good agreement with theoretical expectations within the framework of modification of spontaneous decay of electric-dipole excitons by their environment. Analysis of the experimental data reveals that energy transfer (ET) from nanocrystals into Si is a major enabler of substantial variations in decay rates, where we quantitatively distinguish contributions from nonradiative and radiative ET channels. We demonstrate that time-resolved PL kinetics provides a more direct assessment of ET, while PL intensity measurements are also affected by the specifics of the generation and emission processes.
