Abstract
Charge trapping can lead to severe nonradiative losses in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). The authors report femtosecond electron diffraction measurements on photoexcited NCs to reveal atomic-scale insights into how localization of charges at trap sites induce surface deformations.
