Charge dynamics in colloidal quantum dots : recombination, trapping and multiple exciton generation (2017)
Book Chapter
Leontiadou, M., Smith, C., Lydon, C., & Binks, D. (2017). Charge dynamics in colloidal quantum dots : recombination, trapping and multiple exciton generation. In P. Skabara, & M. Malik (Eds.), Nanostructured Materials for Type III Photovoltaics. Royal Society of Chemistry. https://doi.org/10.1039/9781782626749-00472

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconductor crystals, the nanometre-scale size of which both allows their absorption edge to be controlled during growth and enhances the yield of multiple exciton generation. These properties, combined with the fa... Read More about Charge dynamics in colloidal quantum dots : recombination, trapping and multiple exciton generation.

Ultrafast charge dynamics in dispersions of monolayer MoS2 nanosheets (2017)
Journal Article
Kime, G., Leontiadou, M., Brent, J., Savjani, N., O'Brien, P., & Binks, D. (2017). Ultrafast charge dynamics in dispersions of monolayer MoS2 nanosheets. Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 121, 22415-22421. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.7b05631

Ultrafast charge dynamics in dispersions of MoS2 nanosheets in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone are reported. Samples were prepared by the ultrasonication-assisted exfoliation of MoS2 powder, resulting in nanosheets that were predominantly monolayer and had an...

The passivating effect of cadmium in PbS/CdS colloidal quantum dots probed by nm-scale depth profiling (2017)
Journal Article
Clark, P., Radtke, H., Pengpad, A., Williamson, A., Spencer, B., Hardman, S., …Flavell, W. (2017). The passivating effect of cadmium in PbS/CdS colloidal quantum dots probed by nm-scale depth profiling. Nanoscale, 9(2017), 6056-6067. https://doi.org/10.1039/c7nr00672a

Achieving control of the surface chemistry of colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) is essential to fully exploit their properties in solar cells, but direct measurement of the chemistry and electronic structure in the outermost atomic layers is challenging....

Multiple exciton generation and dynamics in InP/CdS colloidal quantum dots (2017)
Journal Article
Smith, C., Leontiadou, M., Clark, P., Lydon, C., Savjani, N., Spencer, B., …Binks, D. (2017). Multiple exciton generation and dynamics in InP/CdS colloidal quantum dots. Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 121(4), 2099-2107. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.6b11744

We report measurements of multiple exciton generation and recombination in InP/CdS (core/shell) colloidal quantum dots. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy was used to measure the subnanosecond charge dynamics for a range of pump fluences and...
