Colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for solar cells because of their simple preparation process and compatibility with flexible substrates. The QD radiative recombination lifetime has attracted enormous attention as it affects the probability of photogenerated charges leaving the QDs and being collected at the battery electrodes. However, the scaling law for the exciton radiative lifetime in CdSe QDs is still a puzzle. This article presents a novel explanation that reconciles this controversy. Our calculations agree with the experimental measurements of all three divergent trends in a broadened energy window. Further, we proved that the exciton radiative lifetime is a consequence of the thermal average of decays for all thermally accessible exciton states. Each of the contradictory size-dependent patterns reflects this trend in a specific size range. As the optical band gap increases, the radiative lifetime decreases in larger QDs, increases in smaller QDs, and is weakly dependent on size in the intermediate energy region. This study addresses the inconsistencies in the scaling law of the exciton lifetime and gives a unified interpretation over a widened framework. Moreover, it provides valuable guidance for carrier separation in the thin film solar cell of CdSe QDs.Colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for solar cells because of their simple preparation process and compatibility with flexible substrates.

Nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of noble gas atoms in counter-rotating two-color circularly polarized (CRTC) laser fields is investigated. A scaling law is concluded by qualitatively and quantitatively comparing the momentum distributions of two electrons from NSDI in CRTC laser fields for different atoms with different parameters. The scaling law indicates that the momentum distributions from an atom driven by CRTC laser frequency ω1, ω2, and laser intensity I are the same as that from another atom irradiated by CRTC laser frequency kω1, kω2, and laser intensity k3I. This study can provide an avenue in the research of two-color laser field ionization.
