Electric‐Field Enhancement Inducing Near‐Infrared Two‐Photon Absorption in an Indium–Tin Oxide Nanoparticle Film

Abstract: An enhancing factor: the enhancement of the electric properties of a dye molecule (IR26) by indium-tin oxide nanoparticles (ITO NPs, see picture) has been shown by measuring the near-infrared two-photon-excited transient absorption spectra. The dye molecule was excited much more efficiently in the presence of an ITO NP layer.

“…These results agree with the slow hole transfer from quantum dots to surface adsorbates that typically occurs on the 10 s to 100s ps time scale, thus hardly competing with the fast hot-carrier relaxation by electron–phonon scattering (0.6 ps). , Meanwhile, hot electron transfer to RhB is also unlikely because the excitation photon energy (1.55 eV) is insufficient to generate electrons in the Cu 2– x Se conduction band due to its much larger bandgap (2.5 eV, Figure c). Other possibilities, including resonant energy transfer from Cu 2– x Se to RhB or two-photon absorption (TPA) of RhB enhanced by the electromagnetic field on the plasmonic nanocrystal surface are also excluded. These processes should generate excited-state RhB, whose TA spectrum (Figure b and Figure S6) differs significantly from the TA spectra of RhB on Cu 2– x Se NCs; also, a sample of RhB solutions of the same concentration do not show any TPA absorption feature at the same excitation fluence (Figure S7).…”
