A roll-on transfer strategy is developed to enable large-scale and uniform assembly of CdS nanowires on various rigid and flexible substrate materials. In this method, the CdS nanowires were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The dispersed CdS NWs could be

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is widely used for gas-phase deposition of high-quality dielectric, semiconducting, or metallic films on various substrates. In this contribution we propose the concept of colloidal ALD (c-ALD) for synthesis of colloidal nanostructures. During the c-ALD process
Wide wavelength range (550-1600 nm) measurements of nonlinear optical properties of ca. 5 nm CdS quantum dots (QDs) colloidal solution were performed using the Z-scan technique with femtosecond laser pulses at 1 kHz. Parameters characterizing nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction
High particle uniformity, high photoluminescence quantum yields, narrow and symmetric emission spectral lineshapes and minimal single-dot emission intermittency (known as blinking) have been recognized as universal requirements for the successful use of colloidal quantum dots in nearly all optical applications.
Applications of semiconductor nanocrystals such as biomarkers and light-emitting optoelectronic devices require that their fluorescence quantum yield be close to 100%. However, such quantum yields have not been obtained yet, in part, because non-radiative Auger recombination in charged nanocrystals could
