Abstract:
We present the synthesis of Cd(3)As(2) colloidal quantum dots luminescent from 530 to 2000 nm. Previous reports on quantum dots emitting in the infrared are primarily limited to the lead chalcogenides and indium arsenide. This work expands the availability of high quality infrared emitters.
