Journal Article
Smith, C., Tyrrell, E., Leontiadou, M., Miloszewski, J., Walsh, T., Cadirci, M., …Tomic, S. (2016). Energy structure of CdSe/CdTe type II colloidal quantum dots—Do phonon bottlenecks remain for thick shells?. Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 158(2), 160-167. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solmat.2015.12.015

The electronic structures of CdSe/CdTe type II colloidal quantum dots are predicted using a model based on k·pk·p theory and the many-particle configuration interaction method. The separation of energy levels in the conduction band is examined and us...

Ultrafast exciton dynamics in CdxHg(1-x)Te alloy quantum dots (2016)
Journal Article
Leontiadou, M., Al-Otaify, A., Kershaw, S., Zhovtiuk, O., Kalytchuk, S., Mott, D., …Binks, D. (2016). Ultrafast exciton dynamics in CdxHg(1-x)Te alloy quantum dots. Chemical Physics, 469-70(May 16), 25-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemphys.2016.02.003

Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy is used to investigate sub-nanosecond exciton dynamics in CdxHg(1−x)Te alloy colloidal quantum dots. A bleach was observed at the band gap due to state-filling, the mono-exponential decay of which had a cha... Read More about Ultrafast exciton dynamics in CdxHg(1-x)Te alloy quantum dots.

Journal Article
Leontiadou, M., Tyrrell, E., Smith, C., Espinbarro-Velasquez, D., Miloszewski, J., Walsh, T., …Tomic, S. (2016). Influence of elevated radiative lifetime on efficiency of CdSe/CdTe Type II colloidal quantum dot based solar cells. Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 159, 657-663. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solmat.2016.01.018

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising materials for solar cells because their optoelectronic properties are easily adjusted by control of their size, structure and composition. We present calculations of the band gap and radiative lifetime for...
