Semiconductor quantum dots (QD) are interesting objects due to their unique features [1,2]. In particular, the quantum size effect is observed in colloidal quantum dots. This effect makes it possible to obtain nanocrystals at the stage of synthesis different sizes and spectral properties. Such properties include variation in the position of the luminescence maximum, high photostability, and a wide absorption contour. Based on these properties, QDs are already used as phosphors for LEDs. They can also be used for medicine (as markers) and in photovoltaics. QDs can be embedded into various amorphous media as probes. Due to local field effects, single QDs are a very sensitive instrument to environmental parameters. The creation of various materials, such as QD-based composites, is of great importance in materials science, because such nanocomposites can have both optical and mechanical properties.
In this paper, we present combined methods for spectral diagnostics of local parameters of nanocomposites based on QD [3]. The parameters of the electron-phonon coupling were studied by measuring the temperature dependences of the exciton luminescence spectra for colloidal CdSe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots on a glass substrate and composites based on QD. Using the Varshni equation [4] for the temperature dependences of the band gap in bulk semiconductors, one can obtain a limited number of internal parameters. Using O'Donnell and Chen equation [5], it was possible to obtain the band gap parameters at zero temperature, Huang-Rhys factor and average phonon energy (ELO = 21.4 meV). The last parameter correlates with direct Raman scattering measurements (ELO = 25 meV) and also with photon echo experiments, where phase relaxation times were observed [6].
