Fig. 3: Hot-electron transfer from FICO.
From: Infrared driven hot electron generation and transfer from non-noble metal plasmonic nanocrystals
a Comparison of transient absorption (TA) spectra at different delay times for FICO nanocrystals (NCs) and FICO–RhB. b Subtracted TA spectrum showing clearly RhB ground state bleach (GSB) and anion radical induced absorption (IA). c TA kinetics of RhB GSB kinetics (empty circles) and the exponential fitting (blue line) in FICO–RhB complex. Inset: scheme of PIHET from FICO NCs (red: O; white: Cd; green: In; violet: F) to RhB molecules. After infrared light excitation (red beam), the hot-electron transfers to the adsorbed RhB (red arrow).
