title: Photoinduced direct electron transfer from InSe to GaSe semiconductor nanoparticles.
abstract: Direct electron transfer from InSe nanoparticles to GaSe nanoparticles in mixed solution-phase aggregates has been found to occur upon photoexcitation. Mixed aggregates exhibit a strong charge-transfer absorption band at an energy slightly higher than the InSe band gap. Photoexcitation of this band results in a polarized transient absorption spectrum and transient absorption kinetics characteristic of InSe valence-band holes and GaSe conduction-band electrons. The kinetics indicate that charge separation persists for at least several hundred picoseconds.
