Enhanced Cu emission in ZnS : Cu,Cl/ZnS core–shell nanocrystals

Temperature and pressure behavior of the emission bands from Mn-, Cu-, and Eu-doped ZnS nanocrystals

ZnS Cu-doped quantum dots

The paper presents a survey of literature on the structure and optical properties of ZnS and copper ion-doped ZnS quantum dots. The effect of other metal dopants on the spectral properties of ZnS:Cu quantum dots was also considered. The influence of such parameters as dopant concentration, temperature of the synthesis and compounds which form or modify the additional layer on dots on spectral p...

Brightness degradation in electroluminescent ZnS : Cu

Monte Carlo simulations using crystal chemical constraints have been used to elucidate the copper diffusion mechanisms in copper-doped zinc sulfide. Relaxation around the ZnSuCu S interface allows facile copper diffusion, particularly in the 22x presence of substitutional oxygen or sulfur vacancies. Copper diffusion is responsible for the brightness degradation in this electroluminescent materi...

High temperature continuous flow synthesis of CdSe/CdS/ZnS, CdS/ZnS, and CdSeS/ZnS nanocrystals.

Continuous flow reactors show great promise for large-scale synthesis of quantum dots. Here, we discuss results for the synthesis of multi-layered Cd-based hybrid nanocrystals - CdSe/CdS/ZnS, CdS/ZnS, and CdSeS/ZnS - in a continuous flow reactor. The simple reactor design and liquid-phase chemistry obviate the need for preheating or in-line mixing, and the chosen reactor dimensions and operatin...

Optical Properties of CdSe/ZnS Nanocrystals

Measurements are presented of the absorbance, fluorescence emission, fluorescence quantum yield, and fluorescence lifetime of CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots (QDs). The study included three groups of nanocrystals whose surfaces were either passivated with organic molecules, modified further with carboxyl groups, or conjugated with CD14 mouse anti-human antibodies. The surface ...
