ABSTRACTWe report on the photoconductivity of thin films consisting of a porous nanocrystalline TiO2 matrix and quantum size PbS clusters adsorbed on the inner surfaces of theTiO2. The PbS clusters are typically a few nm in size and are not connected. Due to quantum confinement the bandgap of the clusters is widened to around 2 eV from the 0.41 eV value for PbS bulk. The clusters thus absorb in the visible spectrum. However, due to their spatial separation, photoconductance through the film requires carrier transfer through the TiO2 matrix. Our data show this to occur only for clusters <25 Å, for which the conduction band edge lies above the TiO2 conduction band edge. For larger clusters the band alignment at the TiO2/PbS interface appears to be unfavorable for carrier transfer; these clusters do not contributeto photoconduction.

ABSTRACTAn analysis of the ultrafast response of Ge quantum dots, with average radii of 4 nm and 16 nm, is reported here. Pump and probe experiments allowed investigation of the wavelength region between 450 and 750 nrm, characterized by the absorption peaks due to the E, and E1+Δ1 interband transitions. Two different time regimes have been identified: a first one (τ ≤ 1 ps) associated with pump-induced conduction band filling in the τ-L direction in the Brillouin zone; a second one (τ up to 100 ps) associated with band gap renormalization caused by the carrier interaction in the conduction band. Quantum confinement effects show up in terms of sizedependent blueshift of the E1+Δ1 spectral feature.
