The Enhancement of Band Edge Emission from ZnS/Zn(OH)2 Quantum Dots
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011
Abstract
Wurtzite structure monodisperse ZnS quantum dots (QDs) of 1 to 5 nm diameter, synthesized by colloidal chemical method, were confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images and electron diffraction (ED) patterns. Enhanced blue shifted band edge emission from Zn(OH)2 capped ZnS QDs with decreasing size has been observed, which indicates the role of inorganic surface passivation and hence supports the quantum size effect. Detectable far-red shifted emission from bare ZnS QDs has been observed when QDs precursors and stabilizer dispersed in solvents with different polarities. This emission is attributed to the surface trap states of different energies.
