Abstract

We present quasi-steady-state photoinduced absorption measurements on thin films of colloidal CdSe nanocrystals. We observe an intense, size-dependent absorption peaking in the mid-infrared when the samples are irradiated with visible light. The absorption is accompanied by a bleach in the visible near the position of the first excitonic absorption and persists with a lifetime of milliseconds at room temperature. We characterize the lifetime of the electron state and its cross-section. We attribute this feature to the 1S-1P transition of a delocalized electron. We report a bleaching of the first excitonic transition in electrically excited nanocrystal-based diode structures, and attribute it to charging of the 1S electron state.
