Signature <strong>of</strong> novel Plasmonic Dicke effect in 2D quantum dot solids<br />
mediated by surface plasmons <strong>of</strong> embedded nanoparticles<br />
Jaydeep Basu<br />
Quantum dot ensembles and solids find numerous applications from solar cells to novel<br />
nano-lasers. Understanding their optical and electrical properties and the ability to tune<br />
them is thus <strong>of</strong> vital importance.<br />
Here, we will discuss our recent work on photoluminescence (PL) from two dimensional<br />
solids made <strong>of</strong> CdSe quantum dots lightly doped with metal nanoparticles. The emission<br />
from the quantum dot solid can be tuned by controlling the packing <strong>of</strong> the solid, spectral<br />
overlap between the quantum dots and the metal nanoparticles as well as through doping<br />
concentration. While the PL from the quantum dots show expected variation at low<br />
density and large doping <strong>of</strong> gold nanoparticles, unexpected strong enhancement in PL<br />
occurs at low and intermediate doping, especially when the quantum dots and metal<br />
nanoparticles are spectrally at resonance. A recently suggested model [3] <strong>of</strong> plasmon<br />
mediated superradiance, due to virtual plasmon exchange between proximal quantum<br />
dots, leading to such enhancements seems to be the likely cause <strong>of</strong> such an unusual<br />
effect.<br />
