Nonradiative recombination channel of spin-forbidden dark excitons in colloidal 4 monolayer thick CdSe nanoplatelets synthesized in argon and ambient atmosphere is revealed by analysis of temperature and magnetic field dependencies of the time-resolved photoluminescence. Magneto-optical properties of these nanoplatelets were previously studied in the paper [1]. The nonradiative recombination time of the dark excitons τnr = 11 ns is found to be independent of the nanoplatelets synthesis atmosphere. Only a fraction of nanoplatelets contains the nonradiative recombination channel, while in the rest of nanoplatelets purely radiative recombination of dark excitons is observed. It is shown that the presence of a nonradiative recombination channel affects spin polarization of dark excitons and results in the time dependence of circular polarization degree of photoluminescence in the external magnetic field.
