摘要:

对称性控制对于实现铁电性、非线性光学响应和复杂拓扑序等非常规性质至关重要,因此它为新兴量子和光子系统的设计带来了希望。然而,对材料对称性的快速且可逆的控制仍然是一个挑战,特别是对于纳米级系统。在这里,我们揭示了胶体铅硫族化物量子点在皮秒时间尺度上的可逆对称性变化。结合超快电子衍射和全X射线散射,以及原子级结构建模和第一性原理计算,我们揭示了对称性破缺的硫化铅量子点在光激发下恢复到中心对称相。这种对称性恢复是由光激发的电子载流子驱动的,它们在约100 ps内抑制了铅的偏心位移。此外,瞬态光学测量表明,对称性的变化与电子性质密切相关。总体而言,本研究阐明胶体量子点中可逆的对称性变化,并更广泛地定义了一种在超快时间尺度上光学控制纳米级系统对称性的新方法。

英文摘要:

Symmetry control is essential for realizing unconventional properties, such as ferroelectricity, nonlinear optical responses, and complex topological order, thus it holds promise for the design of emerging quantum and photonic systems. Nevertheless, fast and reversible control of symmetry in materials remains a challenge, especially for nanoscale systems. Here, we unveil reversible symmetry changes in colloidal lead chalcogenide quantum dots on picosecond timescales. Using a combination of ultrafast electron diffraction and total X-ray scattering, in conjunction with atomic-scale structural modeling and first-principles calculations, we reveal that symmetry-broken lead sulfide quantum dots restore to a centrosymmetric phase upon photoexcitation. The symmetry restoration is driven by photoexcited electronic carriers, which suppress lead off-centering for about 100 ps. Furthermore, the change in symmetry is closely correlated with the electronic properties as shown by transient optical measurements. Overall, this study elucidates reversible symmetry changes in colloidal quantum dots, and more broadly defines a new methodology to optically control symmetry in nanoscale systems on ultrafast timescales.
