摘要: Electron transfer (ET) kinetics of CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) on bare coverslips and a TiO(2) nanoparticle-coated thin film has been investigated at the single-molecule level. The QDs prepared have three different diameters 3.6, 4.6, 6.4 nm. trajectories fluorescence intensity are acquired with respect to arrival time. on-time events subsequent lifetimes shorter decreasing size. Given lifetime measurements for glass TiO(2), rate constant ET from may be determined 1.3×10(7), 6.0×10(6), 4.7×10(6) s(-1) increasing sizes QDs. plot probability density versus time is characterized by power-law statistics in short region bending tail long region. Marcus's model employed satisfactorily fit behavior further calculate constants. theoretical counterparts 1.4×10(7), 6.4×10(6), 1.9×10(6) s(-1), showing good agreement experimental results.
