Abstract

The highly-efficient anti-Stokes photoluminescence (PL) up-conversion in aged colloidal InP and CdSe quantum dots (QD) at low light intensity is presented. Up-conversion is produced according to the model by photoexcitation from a surface state near the valence band to the conduction band, followed by up-conversion of the resulting hole from this surface state to the valence band. The hole up-conversion process is driven by phonon absorption.
