Abstract

We report experimental results on the reaction temperature dependence of luminescence properties in size-controlled CdSe nanocrystals. Such reaction temperature dependent property is also sizedependent. The diameter of the CdSe nanocrystals is tuned from 4–11.0 nm by varying the reaction temperatures. The growth process and characterization of CdSe nanocrystals are determined by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The influence of reaction conditions on the growth of CdSe nanocrystals demonstrates that low reaction temperature is favourable for the formation of high quality CdSe nanocrystals.
