The non-radiative electron–hole recombination processes are predominant in alkyl-thiol capped CdTe QDs prepared in water and they are affected by the nature of the capping agent.

The recombination processes leading to tunneling afterglow and photostimulated luminescence were studied in systems based on ionic host crystals with low-dimensional structures (semiconductor quantum dots) formed as a result of the self-organized growth. The systems of AgBr nanocrystals embedded into the KBr crystal lattice and CsPbBr 3 nanocrystals embedded into the CsBr crystal lattice were investigated. The energy of electron–hole recombination in matrices was shown to transfer to quantum dots. To identify the structure of recombining electron and hole centers, magnetic resonance detected optically by monitoring the tunneling afterglow was used.

An environmentally friendly synthesis was developed to fabricate aqueous CdTe quantum dots (QDs) using thilglycolic acid (TGA) as a capping agent. Optimal preparation conditions including pH (11.2) and TGA/Cd molar ratio (1.5:1) resulted in CdTe QDs with high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield up to 56%. The TGA-capped CdTe QDs exhibited tunable PL from green to red. Lifetime measurement indicated that the average lifetime of the TGA-capped QDs increased with increasing their sizes (27.5 and 37.2 ns for the QDs with PL peak wavelength of 607 and 636 nm, respectively). The PL of the QDs revealed the dependence of temperature, in which the QDs exhibited a red-shifted PL peak with increasing temperature. Such PL behavior depended strongly on the QD sizes.

Ag-doped CdTe QDs emit multiple-fluorescence peaks, and the relationship between fluorescence intensity and the concentration of Hg2+ is established. Two linear relationships are obtained, which is benefit to the extension of detection range.

Low-cost solution-based synthesis of metal halide perovskites (MHPs) invariably introduces defects in the system, which could form Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) electron-hole recombination centers detrimental to solar conversion efficiency. Here, we investigate the nonradiative recombination processes due to native point defects in methylammonium lead halide (MAPbI3) perovskites using ab initio nonadiabatic molecular dynamics within surface-hopping framework. Regardless of whether the defects introduce a shallow or deep band state, we find that charge recombination in MAPbI3 is not enhanced, contrary to predictions from SRH theory. We demonstrate that this strong tolerance against defects, and hence the breakdown of SRH, arises because the photogenerated carriers are only coupled with low-frequency phonons and electron and hole states overlap weakly. Both factors appreciably decrease the nonadiabatic coupling. We argue that the soft nature of the inorganic lattice with small bulk modulus is key for defect tolerance, and hence, the findings are general to other MHPs.

Valence-exciton luminescence under inner-shell excitation of the rare gas solids Xe, Kr, and Ar has been measured using time-resolved photoluminescence. Two different processes for exciton creation can be distinguished: creation of "prompt" excitons immediately after excitation (within the experimental time resolution), and creation of "delayed" excitons through electron–hole recombination. The decay structure of the exciton emission in the range of inner-shell excitation is characterized by the coexistence of the two processes. Time-resolved excitation spectra near the 2p edge in Ar, the 3d edge in Kr, and the 4d edge in Xe are discussed. The process of prompt exciton creation is strongly enhanced above an excitation threshold at the energy position of the ionization limit of the core state plus the energy of the valence free exciton.
