Cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence of highly luminescent CdSe/ZnS quantum dot composites

We report room-temperature cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence spectra originating from ZnS overcoated CdSenanocrystals, 33 and 42 Å in diameter, embedded in a ZnS matrix. The thin-filmquantum dot composites were synthesized by electrospray organometallic chemical vapor deposition.Cathodolumin...

Sumario:We report room-temperature cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence spectra originating from ZnS overcoated CdSenanocrystals, 33 and 42 Å in diameter, embedded in a ZnS matrix. The thin-filmquantum dot composites were synthesized by electrospray organometallic chemical vapor deposition.Cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence are dominated by the sharp band-edge emission characteristic of the initial nanocrystals. The emission wavelength can be tuned in a broad window (470-650 nm) by varying the size of the dots. The cathodoluminescence intensity depends on the crystallinity of the ZnS matrix and the voltage and current density applied.
