Abstract
We present a theoretical approach to understanding the role of defect states in hole localization in chalcopyrite quantum dots. The total energy of the electron-phonon coupled system is modeled using harmonic oscillators. The model successfully explains results from a number of separate experimental studies using a single set of parameters. The hole transfer rate from the valence band to a defect state is calculated to be 3.3 ps. Our analysis, in conjunction with the emission line width and the Stokes shift observed in these quantum dots, suggests that along with the vibronic coupling, the copper d-orbital participation to the valence band needs to be considered. In addition, we explain the radiative lifetime observed in these systems in terms of fine-structure. We furthermore study the temporal evolution of spontaneous emission rates in these quantum dots. Our results (change of radiative lifetime over �10 ps) match extremely well with the experimentally reported values (�15 ps). © 2021 American Chemical Society.
