Theory of Luminescent Emission in Nanocrystal ZnS:Mn with an Extra Electron
We consider the effect of an extra electron injected into a doped quantum dot
. The Coulomb interaction and the exchange interaction between the
extra electron and the states of the Mn ion will mix the wavefunctions, split
the impurity energy levels, break the previous selection rules and change the
transition probabilities. Using this model of an extra electron in the doped
quantum dot, we calculated the energy and the wavefunctions, the luminescence
probability and the transition lifetime and compare with the experiments. Our
calculation shows that two orders of magnitudes of lifetime shortening can
occur in the transition when an extra electron is present.Comment: 15 pages, 2 Figs No change in Fig
