Abstract
The electronic and vibrational states of colloidal core/shell CdSe/ZnS quantum dots are studied at room temperature by using high pressure optical measurements. Pressure-induced quadratic variations of lattice constants can be observed clearly from both photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra up to ∼7 GPa. This quadratic relationship is consistent with the theoretical prediction. The pressure coefficients of linear and quadratic terms are 32 meV GPa -1, -1 meV GPa-2 for PL and 4.2 cm-1 GPa -1, -0.1 cm-1 GPa-2 for Raman measurements, respectively.
