The formation process of five-component Cu–In–Zn–Se–S nanocrystals from ternary Cu–In–S and quaternary Cu–In–Se–S nanocrystals <i>via</i> gradually induced synthesis

Abstract

The growth mechanism and optical properties were studied systematically for multinary Cu-based chalcogenide NCs including ternary Cu–In–S NCs, quaternary Cu–In–Se–S NCs, and five-component Cu–In–Zn–Se–S NCs.
