Abstract

This paper describes the enhancement of the quantum yield of photoluminescence (PL) of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) upon the adsorption of an exciton-delocalizing ligand, phenyldithiocarbamate. Increasing the apparent excitonic radius by only 10% increases the value of the radiative rate constant by a factor of 1.8 and the PL quantum yield by a factor of 2.4. Ligand exchange therefore simultaneously perturbs the confinement energy of charge carriers and enhances the probability of band-edge transitions.
