Influence of amines and alkanethiols on the spectral and luminescent properties of InP@ZnS colloidal quantum dots

Аннотация

It has been shown that the precursors (long-chain amines and alkanethiols) used in liquid-phase colloidal synthesis of InP@ZnS quantum dots exert a significant influence on their spectral and luminescent properties. It has been found that dodecylamine and 1-dodecanethiol facilitate obtaining the particles with a narrow luminescence band and a low quantum yield, whereas oleylamine, 1-octanethiol, and 1,6-hexanedithiol stimulate the formation of the quantum dots with broad and intense luminescence. Conditions have been found under which the narrowing of the emission band to 46.3 nm becomes possible.
