Synthesis and Characterization of In-Containing Colloidal Quantum Dots

摘要

InP quantum dots (QDs) with zinc blende structure and InN QDs with hexagonal structure were synthesized from appropriate organometallic precursors in a noncoordinating solvent using myristic acid as a ligand. In_2O_3 nanospheres and quantum rods were synthesized under reflux conditions in a coordinating methyl imizadole (MeIm) solvent. The QDs were characterized by TEM, the associated energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), electron diffraction, and steady state UV-VIS optical absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy.
