Abstract

We have studied the physicochemical properties of cadmium telluride nanostructures prepared by colloidal synthesis and analyzed the photoluminescence characteristics of CdTe nanocrystals stabilized with thioglycolic acid. The results demonstrate that the relationship between Cd and Te precursors and the synthesis time influence the nanocrystal size and the optical properties of the nanocrystal-based disperse system.
