Synthesis of TOPO-capped Mn-doped ZnS and CdS quantum dots

Abstract

TOPO (tri-n-octylphosphine oxide) capped Mn-doped ZnS and Mn-doped CdS nanoparticles have been prepared from bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)zinc(II) or bis(methylhexyldithiocarbamato)cadmium(II) and manganese dichloride. The nanoparticles obtained all show quantum size effects in their optical spectra with respect to the parent CdS and ZnS.
