摘要：

We show that in films of strongly coupled PbSe quantum dots multiple electron-hole pairs can be efficiently produced by absorption of a single photon (carrier multiplication). Moreover, in these films carrier multiplication leads to the generation of free, highly mobile charge carriers rather than excitons. Using the time-resolved microwave conductivity technique, we observed the production of more than three electron-hole pairs upon absorption of a single highly energetic photon (5.7E(g)). Free charge carriers produced via carrier multiplication are readily available for use in optoelectronic devices even without employing any complex donor/acceptor architecture or electric fields.
