Article Abstract
We report on the self-assembly of colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets into micrometers long anisotropic needle-like superparticles (SPs), which are formed in solution upon addition of an antisolvent to a stable colloidal dispersion. Optical fluorescence microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and small-angle X-ray scattering provide detailed structural characterization and show that each particle is composed of 10(6) nanoplatelets organized in highly aligned columns. Within the SPs, the nanoplatelets are stacked on each other to maximize the contact surface between the ligands. When deposited on a substrate, the planes of the platelets are oriented perpendicularly to its surface and the SPs exhibit polarized emission properties.

The growth of atomically flat CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) thicker than 5 monolayers (ML) remains a major challenge in colloidal semiconductor synthesis, particularly for core/crown heterostructures. Here we report the successful synthesis of zinc-blende CdSe NPLs with unprecedented thicknesses of 6 and 7 ML, exhibiting sharp photoluminescence at 579 and 596 nm, respectively. We demonstrate that these thick NPLs can serve as cores for CdSe/CdS core/crown heterostructures, confirmed by lateral size expansion and the emergence of characteristic CdS absorption features.

Optical amplification in CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) has been linked to biexcitons with a large binding energy Δ, preventing dissociation at room temperature. While the exciton binding energy Δ has been studied extensively, Δ in colloidal NPLs is typically inferred using the 2D Haynes rule, Δ = 0.228·Δ.

Alloyed semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) exhibit thickness- and composition-dependent luminescence bands with relatively narrow luminescence line widths, thus garnering significant attention for applications in LED and laser devices. Although understanding Auger recombination is crucial for these applications, the influence of the chemical composition of alloyed NPLs remains unclear. In this study, CdZnSe NPLs with various chemical compositions were synthesized, and their Auger recombination was investigated.

Colloidal nanoplatelets are atomically flat quasi-two-dimensional colloidal particles of semiconductors which have been a topic of intense study for their optical properties and potential applications. Like for the previous generation quantum dots, the photostability of nanoplatelets remains a topic of concern that must be understood to reliably use them in devices. We have found that the photoluminescence intensity from CdSe nanoplatelets on continuous laser excitation displays a significant rise (photobrightening) over time at temperatures above 215 K.

The influence of an external uniform in-plane electrostatic field on the exciton states in a CdSe nanoplatelet (NPL) is considered theoretically. By considering the jump in permittivity at the NPL-medium boundary, the energy spectrum and spatial distribution of the probability density for free carriers and 2D excitons in the presence of an in-plane electric field are obtained. The Stark shifts for a 2D exciton are calculated, and it is shown that for fields above a certain critical value, the exciton decays into an electron and hole pair.
