Figure 5: Gate tuning of Förster transfer at cQD-graphene interface.
From: Gate Tuning of Förster Resonance Energy Transfer in a Graphene - Quantum Dot FET Photo-Detector

(a) Comparison of the normalized theoretical model for a Förster transfer based on measured parameters (lines) with the experimentally obtained data representing a measure of transfer rates (symbols). (b) Schematic picture of the effective Förster energy transfer. The photo excited carriers within the cQDs transfer their energy non-radiatively to the graphene, through the layer of ligands surrounding the excited core/shell structure, if the graphene can absorb it. The right part shows a sketch of the graphene band structure indicating the interband transitions that are feasible depending on the Fermi level.
