Abstract

Zinc doped Cadmium Selenide Quantum Dots (CdSe/Zn QDs) were synthesized via inverse micelle technique. The absorption spectra exhibit a strong blue-shift characteristic due to quantum confinement effect. The X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern showed the zinc-blende phase of Zn doped CdSe QDs. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images suggested that the sizes of QDs were falls in range between 2 – 8 nm, with narrow size distribution. The TEM images also revealed that the Zn doped CdSe QDs were spherical, having a compact and dense structure. The optical bandgap of Zn-doped CdSe QDs are smaller than the undoped CdSe QDs as shown in Tauc’s plot. The fourier transform infrared spectra proves the complexion of CdSe-Zn QDs.
