Abstract

We use transient differential absorption experiments to investigate the ‘‘single dot’’ absorption line shape of CdSe quantum dots. We observe both a narrow (full width half maximum ∼5 meV) and a broad (∼50 meV) bleach component within the inhomogeneously broadened first absorption line of our samples. We deduce the single dot absorption line shape which is most consistent with the experimental results. This line shape, which contains structure in the lowest quantum dot absorption feature, explains the large ‘‘Stokes’’ shift seen in the full band edge luminescence of CdSe quantum dots. We discuss the structure within the context of several competing models. The data appear inconsistent with models which use surface states to explain the anomalous emission behavior of II–VI quantum dots. Instead they imply that exciton fine structure is observed in our samples.
