Looking for a platform to study electronic interactions in quantum dots?

Here, we investigate the distance dependence of the electronic interactions between CsPbBr3 nanocubes and CdSe nanoplateles using an alumina (AlOx) shell as a spacer. CsPbBr3@AlOx core@shell NCs are synthesized via colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD), which allows us to fine-tune the oxide thickness and thus the distance d between the two NCs. Considering the applicability of the c-ALD to different NCs, we suggest that metal oxide shell spacers synthesized by this approach can generally be used to study energy-transfer mechanisms at the nanoscale
