Colloidal lead sulphide nanostructures for optoelectronics applications

Thesis

Colloidal semiconductors are nanosized semiconducting materials that are grown in solution and dispersed in solvents. Since the first synthesis reports of colloidal nanocrystal quantum dots in the early 1990s, considerable progress has been made, enabling the production of monodisperse colloids that are tunable in size and shape over a wide range of semiconductors and alloys. In recent years, the deployment of these nanocrystals , has been considered in numerous optoelectronic devices suc...
