Hi there,
I have a passing interaction with quantum dots and light emitting polymers as part of my research. I've been reading up on the physics of qdots and polymers recently. One thing that strikes me is that the existence of triplet states in polymers is mentioned, but not in quantum dots (at least, not as far as I'm aware).
Do triplet states exist in quantum dots? If not, why not? If so, why have I not seen anything about them yet? (are they only apparent under special circumstances, for example?)
I'm wondering if the carriers in the relatively small polymer molecules are more closely bound, whereas the carriers in the qdots are more free, which somehow mitigates carriers from falling into triplet states?
