Synthesis of semiconductor quantum particles in matrices of thin films and crystals of alpha, omega-alkanedicarboxylate salts
Quantum dots of CdS and PbS can be generated in thin films and 3D crystalline powders by taking advantage of the packing arrangement of metal alpha,omega-alkanedicarboxylates (see previous communication). The Figure is a transmission electron micrograph of the CdS particles formed in the 3D crystalline powder of cadmium C-12 dicarboxylate.
