Circumventing the phonon bottleneck by multiphonon-mediated hot exciton cooling at the nanoscale

Abstract Nonradiative processes govern efficiencies of semiconductor nanocrystal (NC)-based devices. A central process is hot exciton cooling, or the nonradiative relaxation of a highly excited electron/hole pair to form a band-edge exciton. Due to quantum confinement effects, the timescale and mech...
