Zusammenfassung:Ag2S quantum dots (QDs) have attracted increasing attention due to their appealing optical properties in the near-infrared regime. However, a full understanding of the quantum confinement effect of Ag2S QDs has not been achieved so far. Herein, for the first time, the size-dependent excited state optical properties of Ag2S QDs are systematically investigated by photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation (PLE), and time-resolved PL spectroscopy. Experimentally, we determine the exciton Bohr radius of Ag2S QDs as 2.2 nm, which is highly consistent with theoretical results.
