Abstract:
A method of making a film of large II-VI nanocrystals, including: providing a mixture of column II, column VI chemical precursors, and coordinating solvents selected from amines, phosphines, phosphine oxides, esters, ethers, or combinations thereof by: injecting under heat a higher molar quantity of column II chemical precursor than column VI chemical precursor; and ii) increasing the ratio of column VI to column II chemical precursors during the course of the reaction while still heating the mixture until the molar ratio of column VI chemical precursor to column II chemical precursor is in a range of 1 to 10; heating the mixture to grow large nanocrystals functionalized with coordinating ligands; washing the grown nanocrystals to remove the unreacted precursors and excess coordinating solvents; and d) depositing the large II-VI nanocrystals on a substrate in order to form the film.
