Fourier spectroscopy on PbS quantum dots

The manuscript summarizes our current research on PbS quantum dots. The emission and transmission features in the temperature range of 5 K - 300 K of 4.7 nm PbS quantum dots were investigated and theoretically analyzed with the Fan model, which is based upon the phonon-electron interaction. The model - although designed for bulk semiconductors - apply for quantum dots with the potential to determine fundamental properties such as the Debye temperature.
