Abstract

The optical properties of thiol-stabilized CdTe nanocrystals have been examined. The thiol groups -SR generate a CdS shell at the interface, leading to a CdTe/CdS core-shell structure. The present paper describes our efforts to identify the influence of the CdTe-SR interface on the optical properties of the nanocrystals, utilizing photoluminescence and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectroscopy. The photoluminescence spectrum consists of an excitonic peak, overlapped by a broad band at lower energies. The ODMR spectrum, in the spectral regime of the broad band, showed two resonance signals. They are associated with a trapped hole at an anisotropic site of a cadmium vacancy at the Cd-SR interface and an electron in the conduction band.
