Zero-phonon linewidth in CdSe/ZnS core/shell nanorods.

High-resolution spectral hole-burning studies of CdSe/ZnS core/shell nanorods reveal a sharp zero-phonon line, with a line width dependent on the measurement time scale. The zero-phonon line width is attributed to contributions from radiative decay, spectral diffusion induced by surface electric field fluctuations, and phonon-assisted migration of excitons localized in the nanorods. A decoherence rate as small as 4.5 GHz has been observed, when the effects of spectral diffusion are suppressed in the spectral hole-burning measurement. Comparison between zero-phonon line widths in nanorods and spherical nanocrystals also elucidates important differences in the decoherence process between the one- and zero-dimensional nanostructures.

Charge transport at conjugated polymer-inorganic semiconductor and conjugated polymer-metal interfaces.

Charge transport at conjugated polymer interfaces with metals and inorganic semiconductors is reviewed. Experiments on the equilibrium properties and DC current-voltage behavior of four specific classes of interfaces-metal-doped conjugated polymer, inorganic semiconductor-doped conjugated polymer, metal-intrinsic conjugated polymer, and metal-intrinsic conjugated polymer/electrolyte-are discussed. To facilitate this discussion, classic models of equilibration at ideal interfaces between electronic conductors and free-electron transport are introduced and their limitations discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the charge distributions and interfacial potential profiles expected at various types of electroactive interfaces.
