โฆ Synopsis
The photodegradation of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is investigated by micro-photoluminescence (PL) measurements. With increasing exposure time of laser, the PL intensity of the QDs gradually decreases up to %25 s and remains constant after % 25 s. In contrast, the PL intensity of ZnCdSe quantum well (QWL) keeps decreasing. In micro-PL spectra, some sharp lines corresponding to single QD states disappear after the photodegradation, which would be due to defects such as dislocations induced in the QDs. All these results suggest that the dislocations induced by photodegradation in one dot do not propagate to other dots. This is very promising for CdSe QD lasers.
