Imaging and spectroscopy of artificial-atom states in core/shell nanocrystal quantum dots
arXiv:cond-mat/0104272 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.5751
Abstract
Current imaging scanning tunneling microscopy is used to observe the electronic wavefunctions in InAs/ZnSe core/shell nanocrystals. Images taken at a bias corresponding to the s conduction band state show that it is localized in the central core region, while images at higher bias probing the p state reveal that it extends to the shell. This is supported by optical and tunneling spectroscopy data demonstrating that the s-p gap closes upon shell growth. Shapes of the current images resemble atom-like envelope wavefunctions of the quantum dot calculated within a particle in a box model.
