Growth Mechanisms of CdS Nanocrystals in Aqueous Media

  • Loredana Latterini and
  • Alessandro Iagatti

6 June 2012

CdS nanocrystals were prepared in water-in-oil microemulsions. The nanocrystal properties, absorption and luminescence spectra and size distributions, were monitored at different times after mixing the microemulsions of the two precursors to obtain i...
