Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how gradient alloying in CdSe quantum dots affects hole-state splitting and relaxation dynamics.
  • Examined hole-state behavior in gradient alloyed CdSe quantum dots using two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy.
  • Analyzed ultrafast relaxation processes across hole states.
  • Investigated the relation between hole-state splitting and photoluminescence enhancement.
  • Observed significant splitting between light-hole and heavy-hole states due to symmetry breaking.
  • Identified ultrafast relaxation processes (<1 ps) across three hole states.
  • Established a link between hole-state dynamics and improvements in photoluminescence and optical gain.

Abstract

excitons. These findings suggest that the gradient alloyed shells on CdSe quantum dots cause symmetry breaking, which results in the light-hole and heavy-hole states splitting. Furthermore, ultrafast (<1 ps) relaxation processes via hole cooling across these three hole states are observed. The hole-state splitting provides a spectroscopic basis for the observed cooling dynamics and may serve as a contributing factor to the enhancement of photoluminescence and optical gain, offering a potential pathway for optimizing excitonic structure in next-generation QD-based optoelectronic devices.
