Aerosol fabrication of nanocrystals of InP
(1999) In Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, Part 1: Regular Papers and Short Notes and Review Papers 38(2 B). p.1056-1059- Abstract
Nanocrystals of indium phosphide, with diameters of around 10nm, have been produced via an aerosol route. The method is based on the formation of monodisperse indium droplets and the subsequent reaction with phosphine at elevated temperature. The size of the final InP nanocrystal is self-limited by the size of the introduced size-selected In droplet. This size can be tuned carefully, thus this method allows a narrow size distribution of the nanocrystals. The kinetics of the reaction of In to produce InP depends on the temperature and the phosphine flow. Extensive high resolution transmission electron microscopy studies lead to a consistent picture of the process. Our approach opens the possibility for efficient production of... (More)
