Synthesis and study of some properties of colloidal quantum dots of indium antimonide

Authors: Tsvetkova O. Y., Shtykov S. N., Zhukov D. N., Smirnova T. D.

Colloidal quantum dots of indium antimonide have been synthesized by a known technique. The shape and average diameters of quantum dots have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy using a transmission microscope. Controlling the size and shape of colloidal QDs provides information on the formation of the crystal structure of nanoparticles and their possible physical and optical properties. It has been found that InSb quantum dots are characterized by a polygonal shape.

Effect of sulfur solvent on the properties of lead sulfide quantum dots

Authors: Tsvetkova O. Y., Shtykov S. N., Smirnova T. D., Zhukov D. N.

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) of lead sulfide have been synthesized and investigated using octadecene and white spirit as a solvent for sulfur, varying the concentration of precursors and the temperature of the process. A method has been proposed for the synthesis of these QDs using anhydrous white spirit as a solvent at a temperature of 200° C, which made it possible to obtain polygonal nanoparticles with an average diameter of 2 to 3.2 nm with a minimum spread in size (± 10%).
