Figure 6. Epitaxial shell growth in four different carrier localization regimes.

Figure 6

Absorption spectra are shown in ad and relative oscillator strengths are plotted for the 1st exciton transition (Inline graphic ) and 2nd exciton transition (Inline graphic) in eg. Regimes are designated as: (a,e) homoepitaxial growth (CdTe/CdTe), (b,f) Type I with electron and hole in the core (CdSe/ZnS), (c,g) Type II h/e with the hole in the core and electron in shell (CdTe/CdSe) and (d,h) Type II e/h with the electron in the core and hole in the shell (CdSe/ZnTe). Absorption spectra show cores with nominal shell thicknesses of 0 (black), 0.6 (red) and 1.2 (blue) monolayers (ML). Error bars are s.d.
