Organic-capped ZnO nanocrystals: Synthesis and n-type character

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Wurtzite ZnO nanocrystals capped with trioctylphosphine oxide or alkylamines are synthesized and characterized. These ZnO nanocrystals can be made n-type either by electron transfer doping from reducing species in solution or by above band gap photoexcitation with a UV lamp. The n-type nanocrystals exhibit a strong intraband infrared absorption, an extensive bleach of the interband band-edge absorption, and a complete quenching of the photoluminescence.
