White-light emission by phonon assisted coherent mixing of excitons in Au8–CdS hybrid nanorods (original) (raw)

Nanotechnology, 2016

Abstract

Gold cluster (Au8) coated CdS hybrid nanorods (HNRs), synthesized using a sonication assisted assembly route, exhibit phonon assisted coherent mixing of excitons. As observed from optical absorption, Raman scattering, x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopic studies, the Au8 modulates the crystal-and electronic-structure of the CdS nanorods, effecting enhancement of exciton-phonon (e-p) interactions. The e-p interaction and entropy effect mediated phase matching of the excitonic transitions, leading-via cooperative and coherent mixing of the excitons' color-to the emission of white light, has been confirmed from room temperature and time resolved photoluminescence measurements.
