Correction to The Magic-Size Nanocluster (CdSe)34 as a Low-Temperature Nucleant for Cadmium Selenide Nanocrystals; Room-Temperature Growth of Crystalline Quantum Platelets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reaction of Cd(OAc)2·2H2O and selenourea in primary-amine/secondary-amine cosolvent mixtures affords crystalline CdSe quantum platelets at room temperature. Their crystallinity is established by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and their sharp extinction and photoluminescence spectra. Reaction monitoring establishes the magic-size nanocluster (CdSe)34 to be a key intermediate in the growth process, which converts to CdSe quantum platelets by first-order kinetics with no induction period. The results are interpreted to indicate that the critical crystal-nucleus size for CdSe under these conditions is in the range of (CdSe)34 to (CdSe)68. The nanocluster is obtained in isolated form as [(CdSe)34(n-octylamine)16(di-n-pentylamine)2], which is proposed to function as crystal nuclei that may be stored in a bottle.

White-light emission from magic-sized cadmium selenide nanocrystals.
Magic-sized cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanocrystals have been pyrolytically synthesized. These ultra-small nanocrystals exhibit broadband emission (420-710 nm) that covers most of the visible spectrum while not suffering from self absorption. This behavior is a direct result of the extremely narrow size distribution and unusually large Stokes shift (40-50 nm). The intrinsic properties of these ult...
متن کاملCdSe Ring- and Tribulus-Shaped Nanocrystals: Controlled Synthesis, Growth Mechanism, and Photoluminescence Properties
With air-stable and generic reagents, CdSe nanocrystals with tunable morphologies were prepared by controlling the temperature in the solution reaction route. Thereinto, the lower reaction temperature facilitates the anisotropic growth of crystals to obtain high-yield CdSe ring- and tribulus-shaped nanocrystals with many branches on their surfaces. The photoluminescence properties are sensitive...
متن کاملLarge-scale, solution-phase growth of semiconductor nanocrystals into ultralong one-dimensional arrays and study of their electrical properties.
One-dimensional (1D) assemblies of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) represent an important kind of 1D nanomaterial system due to their potential for exploring novel and enhanced electronic and photonic performances of devices. Herein, we present mass fabrication of a series of 1D arrays of CdSe and PbSe NCs on a large length scale with ultralong, aligned Se nanowires (NWs) as both the reactant ...

CdSe nanoclusters embedded in silicon oxide layers are produced by sequential physical vapor deposition of SiOx x < 1:5 and CdSe on crystalline silicon substrates at room temperature. High-resolution electron microscopy is used to prove the formation of CdSe nanoclusters as well as to study their shape, size and structure. Cross-sectional electron micrographs of the as-deposited samples revea...
متن کاملSurface- and tip-enhanced resonant Raman scattering from CdSe nanocrystals.
Surface- and tip-enhanced resonant Raman scattering (resonant SERS and TERS) by optical phonons in a monolayer of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is demonstrated. The SERS enhancement was achieved by employing plasmonically active substrates consisting of gold arrays with varying nanocluster diameters prepared by electron-beam lithography. The magnitude of the SERS enhancement depends on the localized ...
