UV-Vis spectroscopy and PL data show that structural incorporation of Eu3+ has an effect on the optical properties of CdSe QDs via energy transfer from host to dopant. This allows for QDs with tunable optical properties via numerous pathways.

Highly ordered arrays consisting uniform fluorescent cadmium selenide ( CdSe ) quantum dots (QDs) ring or dot structures were obtained by self-assembly of QDs on chemically patterned substrates. In this method, Au substrates with alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic square patterns are firstly fabricated by microcontact printing, which allows water droplets to condense on the hydrophilic regions to provide two-dimensional template arrays. The CdSe QDs are then assembled at the liquid/liquid interfaces to give uniform micro or nanostructures. The shape and size of the rings and dots can be tailored by controlling the relative evaporation speed of the water and the organic solvents. The obtained nanostructures have ideal topography to avoid substrate-induced fluorescence quenching.

Quantum dots (QDs) are a hot topic in optoelectronic device research, due to tailorable absorption and emission properties. Unfortunately, the conventional methods of QD synthesis are hazardous and time-consuming. In this work, we present an alternative method of fabricating cadmium selenide (CdSe) QDs (via rapid microwave synthesis). This novel fabrication method provides a quick and efficient way to synthesize QDs that are almost identical to those commercially available. We also demonstrate the tuning of QD sizes by varying time and temperature during the growth process. Optical spectroscopy was used to measure the emission profile of QDs of various sizes. With ease repeatability, tunability, and scalability, this QD synthesis method can be integrated into a wide range of applications and optoelectronic devices.

This paper describes the formation of a series of bis(cycloalkeno)-1,4-diselenins from the corresponding cycloalkeno-1,2,3-selenadiazoles by a microwave irradiation method. Additionally, for the first time ever, bis(cyclohepteno)-1,4-diselenin has been utilised as a novel selenium precursor for the preparation of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) by a microwave method.

In this work, we report on the effects of incorporating manganese (Mn) dopant into different sizes of cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs), which improves the electronic and optical properties of the QDs for multiple applications such as light-emitting diodes, lasers, and biological labels. Furthermore, the greener inverse Micelle method was implemented using organic ligand, which is oleic acid. This binding of the surface enhanced the QDs’ surface trap passivation of Mn-doped CdSe, which then increased the quantity of the output. In addition, the inverse Micelle technique was used successfully to dope Mn into CdSe QDs without the risk of Mn dopants being self-purified as experienced by wurtzite CdSe QDs. Also, we report the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results and analysis of zinc blended manganese-doped cadmium selenide quantum dots (Mn-doped CdSe QDs), which were synthesized with physical sizes that varied from 3 to 14 nm using the inverse Micelle method. The XPS scans traced the existence of the Se 3d and Cd 3d band of CdSe crystals with a 54.1 and 404.5 eV binding energy. The traced 640.7 eV XPS peak is proof that Mn was integrated into the lattice of CdSe QDs. The binding energy of the QDs was related to the increase in the size of the QDs.

In this paper, we predict the nucleation phase of as-synthesized manganese (Mn) doped cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) at an intrinsic physical size of 3 (± 0.1 – 0.9) nm via photoluminescence (PL) studies. The nucleation phase was analyzed at temporal evolution (16, 46 and 90 mins) and temperature (210, 215 and 220 ºC) below the CdSe QDs reaction temperature (210 and 215 ºC) to it reaction temperature (220 ºC). The PL spectra`s observed to be against the QDs ripening behaviour of QDs since there are no prominent red-shift of PL spectra`s. However, the intensity of PL spectra`s shows to be varied with different temperatures and times.

CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and polyaniline (PAni) were mixed to prepare CdSe QDs/PAni complex. PAni can quench the fluorescence of CdSe QDs. Fluorescence intensity of CdSe QDs/PAni complex is related to the size of CdSe QDs and the concentration of PAni. UV-Vis absorption spectra, fluorescence spectra, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy were used to analys the quenching phenomenon. The mechanism of fluorescence quenching is dependent on two factors: on one hand, the Förster resonance energy transfer from CdSe to PAni; on the other hand, PAni can intercept the charge relaxation process of CdSe and lead to the interruption of radiative recombination.

We have investigated the effect of water (H2O) cooling and heat treatment on the luminescence efficiency of core CdSe quantum dots (QDs). The photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of the CdSe QDs was enhanced up to ~85%, and some periodic bright points were observed in wide color ranges during the heat treatment of QDs mixed with H2O. The PL enhancement of QDs could be attributed to the recovery of QDs surface traps by unreacted ligands confined within the hydrophilic H2O molecule containers.
