Abstract

A mathematical model for nonradiative energy transfer in nanoclusters of colloidal quantum dots with narrow size distribution has been developed and analyzed. The model makes it possible to calculate the nanocluster luminescence spectrum from the absorption and luminescence spectra of the corresponding ensemble of nonaggregated particles. The Kennard—Stepanov (van Roosbroek—Shockley) relation is used for correlation between the absorption and luminescence spectra, with blinking being taken into account. The application of the model is considered for a solution of the inverse problem of finding of nonradiative energy transfer parameters from experimental data on photoluminescence of nanoclusters.
