Synthesis of Cadmium Telluride Quantum Wires and the Similarity of Their Effective Band Gaps to Those of Equidiameter Cadmium Telluride Quantum Dots

摘要

High-quality colloidal CdTe quantum wires having purposefully controlled diameters in the range 5-11 nm are grown by the solution-liquid-solid (SLS) method, using Bi nanoparticle catalysts, cadmium octadecylphosphonate and trioctylphosphine telluride as p
