Identifying and Eliminating Emissive Sub-bandgap States in Thin Films of PbS Nanocrystals.


ABSTRACT: Chemical oxidation of under-charged Pb atoms reduces the density of trap states by a factor of 40 in films of colloidal PbS quantum dots for devices. These emissive sub-bandgap states are a byproduct of several standard ligand-exchange procedures. X-ray photoelectron spectro-scopy measurements and density function theory simulations demonstrate that they are associated with under-charged Pb.
