Exciton-optical phonon coupling in II-VI semiconductor nanocrystals

Abstract

This perspective reviews the topic of exciton-phonon coupling (EPC) in II-VI semiconductor nanocrystals. First, EPC is defined and its relevance is discussed, both as it influences the properties of the materials relevant to applications and as a probe of electronic structure. Different experimental and theoretical methods for probing EPC are outlined. Results for several different classes of II-VI nanocrystals are summarized. Finally, possible future directions are outlined.
