Temperature Dependence of Emission Line Widths from Semiconductor Nanocrystals Reveals Vibronic Contributions to Line Broadening Processes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The emission line widths of semiconductor nanocrystals yield insight into the factors that give rise to their electronic structure, thereby providing a path for utilizing nanocrystals in light emissive applications. Experiment and theory in conjunction reveal the contributions to line broadening to the core and surface emission bands. As nanocrystals become small, broad emission from the surface becomes prominent. In the case of the core emission, we reveal previously unobserved vibronic contributions in addition to the already well-known electronic structure of the band-edge exciton. As the temperature decreases, broad emission from the surface becomes prominent. This surface emission also exhibits vibronic contributions albeit more strongly. Analysis of the surface emission reveals the existence of a previously unobserved electronic structure of the surface in complete parallel to that of the core. The surface is characterized by a bright and dark state as well as a spectrum of bright states.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
