Preparation and Optical Properties of Colloidal, Monodisperse, and Highly Crystalline ITO Nanoparticles

Abstract

Colloidal, monodisperse, highly crystalline ITO nanoparticles with various particle sizes and tin contents were prepared by a one-pot thermal decomposition of tin and indium precursors in oleylamine. The PL emission maxima become blue-shifted as the particle size decreases and the tin content increases.
