Optical gain and stimulated emission in nanocrystal quantum dots.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the competing dynamical processes involved in optical amplification and lasing in nanocrystal quantum dots and found that, despite a highly efficient intrinsic nonradiative Auger recombination, large optical gain can be developed at the wavelength of the emitting transition for close-packed solids of these dots.

High efficiency carrier multiplication in PbSe nanocrystals: implications for solar energy conversion.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that impact ionization (II) (the inverse of Auger recombination) occurs with very high efficiency in semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) and can be used to considerably increase the power conversion efficiency of NC-based solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantization of multiparticle auger rates in semiconductor quantum dots

TL;DR: It is observed that in the quantum-confined regime, the Auger constant is strongly size-dependent and decreases with decreasing the quantum dot size as the radius cubed.
