Abstract:
We have previously demonstrated a method for achieving room-temperature, intraband, midinfrared (3-5 mu m) absorption in CdSe colloidal quantum dot/poly[2-methoxy-5-(2(')-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4- phenylenevinylene] conducting polymer nanocomposites deposited on GaAs substrates. In this work, theoretical and experimental evidence are presented to further verify that the observed infrared sensitivity is due to intraband transitions. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
