Effect of the nanoparticle size on the relative importance of radiative and nonradiative recombination.
NP size | τ (ns) | PLQY | k rad (1/ns) | k non-rad (1/ns) |
---|---|---|---|---|
7 nm | 11.4 ± 0.1 | 0.68 | 60 | 30 |
9 nm | 5.97 ± 0.05 | 0.59 | 100 | 70 |
17 nm | 2.98 ± 0.05 | 0.31 | 110 | 240 |
