摘要
We demonstrate polarization-induced spectral shifts and associated linearly polarized absorption and emission in single CdSe/oligo-(phenylene vinylene) (CdSe/OPV) nanoparticles. A mechanism for these observations is presented in which charge separation from photoexcited ligands results in a significant Stark distortion of the quantum dot electron/hole wavefunctions. This distortion results in an induced linear polarization and an associated red shift in band-edge photoluminescence. These studies suggest the use of single quantum dots as local charge mobility probes.
