PbS colloidal quantum dot photoconductive photodetectors: Transport, traps, and gain
Abstract
We investigate experimentally the origins of gain in PbS colloidal quantum dot photodetectors. We employ measurements of photocurrent, its transient behavior, and dark current over a wide range of temperatures. We find the hole mobility to have an activation energy of 0.16eV, and we identify photosensitizing centers at ∼0.1, 0.2, and 0.3eV below the conduction band edge. These centers account for the 60, 300, and 2000ms fall times observed in the transient response of the photocurrent at room temperature. These centers enable us to account for the constancy of photoconductive gain across the wide temperature range of 250–340K.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
