Abstract

Semiconductor quantum dots are of great current interest for their optical properties. We have developed a method for preparing CdS quantum dots in commercially available PAMAM Starburst dendrimers. The resulting CdS-dendrimer nanocomposites are exceptionally stable and emit brightly in the blue. The size of the dendrimer (its `generation') has a surprisingly small effect on the optical properties of the resulting nanocomposites. The dot-dendrimer nanocomposites can be captured in a silica sol-gel matrix to yield a stable, bright blue-emitting glass.
