报告人: Christophe Delerue, Guy Allan,IEMN – Département ISEN 报告人介绍: Prof. Christophe Delerue got his PhD degree in materials science from Lille University in 1989. He has been a professor of ISEN since 1997, Physics group leader of IEMN since 1998, and Director of GDR DFT++ since 2006. He had also been the Co-editor of Europhysics Lett., and Member of “National Committee of CNRS”. In 2008, he won the Ancel prize 2007 of French Physical Society. His research focuses on semiconductor physics, material science, chemical physics, optics and quantum transport. Currently, he is working on low dimensional semiconductors. Abstract： Semiconductor nanocrystals fabricated by chemical routes are remarkable objects which are often considered as artificial atoms whose properties can be tailored by changing their shape, their size and their composition. They are subject of intense research and therefore their optical properties like optical absorption and luminescence spectra are now well understood. In this lecture, we will address more complex properties of semiconductor nanocrystals concerning the dynamics of excitons after optical excitation at energies well above the band gap. In particular, we will consider the Multiple Exciton Generation. Many experimental studies suggested that it is possible to generate several excitons after absorption of a single photon in nanocrystals, up to seven excitons in PbSe nanocrystals [2], which can be very interesting to enhance the efficiency of solar cells, but these results are highly debated and the mechanisms are not understood. We will review experimental studies engaged at the international level and we will summarize our theoretical works on this important problem. Using theoretical simulations, we discuss mechanisms of MEG like impact ionization and direct generation [3]. We also consider the possible role of defects in these problems [4]. [1] G. Allan and C.
