Europium doping of cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots <i>via</i> rapid microwave synthesis for optoelectronic applications

Abstract

:CdSe QDs have diameters ranging from 4.6-10.0 nm and colors ranging from blue-green to dark red. The development of recipes for high throughput rapid microwave synthesis allows for QDs to be synthesized with repeatability, tunability, and scalability.
