In this work, we prepared CdTe quantum dots, and series of CdMnTe-alloyed quantum dots with narrow size distribution by an ion-exchange reaction in water solution. We found that the photoluminescence peaks are shifted to higher energies with the increasing Mn content. So far, this is the first report of blue-emitting CdTe-based quantum dots. By means of cyclic voltammetry, we detected features of electrochemical activity of manganese energy levels formed inside the CdMnTe-alloyed quantum dot band gap. This allowed us to estimate their energy position. We also demonstrate paramagnetic behavior for CdMnTe-alloyed quantum dots which confirmed the successful ion-exchange reaction.
在本工作中,我们通过水溶液中的离子交换反应制备了尺寸分布窄的CdTe量子点以及一系列CdMnTe合金量子点。我们发现,随着Mn含量的增加,光致发光峰向更高能量移动。到目前为止,这是基于CdTe的蓝色发射量子点的首次报道。通过循环伏安法,我们检测到了CdMnTe合金量子点带隙内形成的锰能级的电化学活性特征。这使我们能够估计它们的能量位置。我们还证明了CdMnTe合金量子点的顺磁行为,这证实了离子交换反应的成功。
