Abstract: Colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets are thin semiconductor materials with atomic flatness surfaces and one-dimensional strong quantum confinement, and hence they own very narrow and anisotropic emission. Here, we present a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) assisted transferring method that can pick up single layer CdSe nanoplatelet films self-assembled on a liquid surface and then precisely transfer to a target. By layer-by-layer picking up and transferring, multiple layers of CdSe films can be built up to form CdSe stacks with each single layer having dominant in-plane transition dipole distribution, which both material and energic structures are analogous to traditional multiple quantum wells grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. Additionally, with the great flexibility of colloidal nanoplatelets and this transferring method, CdSe nanoplatelets films can be combined with other materials to form hybrid heterostructures. We transferred a single-layer CdSe film onto WS2 flakes, and precisely studied the fast energy transfer rate with controlled CdSe nanoplatelet orientation and by using a streak camera with a ps time resolution.
