Quantum Confinement Effects on 100–400 Å Diameter Silver Bromide Microcrystals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Previous work on quantum confined AgBr microcrystals has been limited to either large (500-1000 Å diameter) aqueous samples or extremely small (60-100 Å diameter) inhomogeneously sized micellar samples. This has prevented an investigation of the effect of size restriction on the phonon assisted transitions of the indirect exciton. A non-aqueous preparation was developed, capable of providing more homogeneous size distributions of AgBr microcrystals in the 100-400 Å diameter range. Low temperature luminescence studies were performed to determine the changes in energy and intensity associated with these excitonic transitions. The radiative lifetimes of some of the excitonic processes were measured in order to obtain a more global perspective on the photophysics of AgBr.
