Formation and Stability of Size-, Shape-, and Structure-Controlled CdTe Nanocrystals:  Ligand Effects on Monomers and Nanocrystals

CdTe nanocrystals were synthesized by the hot-injection method with a mixture of oleylamine and octadecene as a solvent. The influence of the composition of the solvent and of the injection solution on the shape of CdTe nanoparticles was investigated. Various shapes of CdTe nanocrystals, such as nanodots, nanorods, multipods, and nanowires, could be obtained by changing the reaction conditions. Tuning the reactivity of both the cadmium and the tellurium precursors at the same time was found to be the main reason for the shape control of CdTe nanocrystals in this reaction system. The reactivity of the Cd precursor was controlled by the composition of the solvent, while the activity of the Te precursor could be influenced by using trioctylphosphine and tributylphosphine in the injection solution.

Depth Study

A comparative study of the unreacted and reacted uniaxially strained Pt(111) and the layered (111)-Pt/Ni/Pt3Ni and (111)-Pt/Ni/PtNi3 surfaces has been performed using density functional theory (DFT). An in-depth study of the unreacted surfaces has been performed to evaluate the importance of geometric, magnetic and ligand effects in determining the reactivity of these different Pt surfaces. An analysis of the binding energies of oxygen and hydrogen over the high-symmetry binding positions of all surfaces has been performed. The study has shown that O and H tend to bind more strongly to the (111)-Pt/Ni/Pt3Ni surface and less strongly to the (111)-Pt/Ni/PtNi3 surface compared to binding on the equivalently strained Pt(111) surfaces. Changes in the surface magnetisation of the surfaces overlaying the ferromagnetic alloys during adsorption are discussed, as well as the behaviour of the d-band centre across all surfaces, to evaluate the potential mechanisms for these differences in binding. An accompanying comparison of the accessible density functionals has been included to estimate the error in the computational binding energies.
