Vibrational Coupling Modifies Spectral Diffusion in Core-Shell Colloidal Quantum Dots
Abstract
We perform two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy on CdSe/CdZnS core/shell colloidal quantum dots at cryogenic temperatures. In the two-dimensonal spectra, sidebands due to electronic coupling with CdSe lattice LO-phonon modes are observed that have evolutions deviating from the exponential dephasing expected from Markovian spectral diffusion. Comparison to simulations provides further evidence that the LO-phonon mode coupling itself significantly modifies the exciton lineshapes and results in the underlying spectral diffusion on ultrafast timescales.
