Facile Surface Exchange On 2d Cadmium Selenide Quantum Belts, Yuewei Yao
Facile Surface Exchange On 2d Cadmium Selenide Quantum Belts, Yuewei Yao
Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation presents various surface-ligand exchange reactions on cadmium selenide quantum belts (QBs), specifically between L-type, Z-type and bound-ion-pair AX salt type ligation. The surface ligation of nanocrystals determines their optical and transport properties, and thus purposeful control of nanocrystal surface chemistry is under active investigation. Colloidal 2D II-VI (specifically CdSe) QBs provide an ideal system for the study of rapid, complete, and reversible surface exchange at room temperature. Interchange of different types of ligands is observed. The surface exchanges are characterized by a variety of means, and the absorption and emission spectra of the QBs are extremely sensitive to …
