Abstract:
Size-controllable monodisperse PbSe and PbSe/PbS nanocrystals (NCs) have been successfully synthesized with a solvothermal method. Octadecylamine (ODA) molecules were found effective in organizing the nanocrystals to form an ordered monolayer. It is expected that these narrow-band-gap semiconductor NCs with tunable size would have potential applications in near- and mid-IR telecommunication laser sources, electroluminescence, and solar cell materials.
