摘要

The electronic, optical and magnetic properties of CdTe/CdS core/shell nanocrystals with different Mn-doped positions and concentrations are carried out by the empirical tight-binding model with the consideration of spd exchange interaction. Substitution of Mn ions into CdTe/CdS core/shell nanocrystal via desired sites and concentrations provides a way to manipulate the spd exchange interaction. With the growing Mn concentrations, the splitting energies and g-factor values are linearly increased. The splitting energies and g-factor values of CdTe:Mn/CdS core/shell nanoparticles are higher than those of CdTe/CdS:Mn core/shell nanoparticles. In the presence of Mn dopants, the optical spectra are divided into four components corresponding to the recombination paths. The increasing Mn concentrations display a progressive red-shift spectra. The introduction of Mn ions improves the optical property, thanks to oscillation strengths and radiative lifetimes. Overall, it is expected that this understanding of core/shell nanocrystals doped with magnetic ions can be utilized for spin-related applications.
