In this paper, a method of preparing a coated nanocrystal was proposed, in which a core of a first semiconductor material surrounded by an overcoating of a second semiconductor was presented.
Abstract
A semiconductor nanocrystal heterostructure has a core of a first semiconductor material surrounded by an overcoating of a second semiconductor material. Upon excitation, one carrier can be substantially confined to the core and the other carrier can be substantially confined to the overcoating. The present invention concerns a method of preparing such a coated nanocrystal.
