Abstract
Surface effects significantly affect the photoexcitation dynamics of colloidal nanocrystals, but their influence is hard to study because of sample complexity and the typically small extinction coefficient of trap states. Using temperature-dependent time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements, we investigate the perturbations induced by surface-localized carrier traps on the exciton dynamics of the nanocrystals. We present a model of carrier trapping that is based on Marcus’ electron-transfer theory and use it to accurately reproduce PL dynamics over a wide temperature range in five core−shell CdSe/CdZnS nanocrystal samples. The resulting pictures of carrier dynamics are then used to identify features in the PL data that may be used in subsequent experiments to reveal information about the energy and distribution of surface-localized trap states. We find that in certain cases, the shape of the ensemble distribution of trap energies can be accurately determined from data recorded at a single temperature that is easily identified from plots of average PL lifetime.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
