Abstract

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals and their solid films created a promising field of research during the last decade. We present a rate equation model to simulate unipolar electron transport in DC-biased one dimensional chain of PbSe nanocrystals. Tunneling, cooling, trapping and heating of electrons are modeled with transition rates and parameters. Three lowest orbitals in each quantum dot are taken into account to simulate unipolar transport through nanocrystal solids. Transitions between the orbitals and neighbor quantum dots are modeled using experimental reports in the literature. Numerical solutions of the rate equations for each state results in a balance between all states in the device.
