Dear All,
How do i decide which QD to purchase? and does the emissison peak matter if i am only aiming for detection and not illumination purposes?
what are the pieces of information that i should look for when making the purchase?
The radiation you want the QD to respond to, or absorb determines the QD to buy. The emissiom peak matters because it is related to the radius of the QD.
Hello Arthur, thank you for the contribution.
regarding the relation between the emission energies and the radius, would that be the brus equation that describes it?
would you recommend any readings that can help me identify the relation and decide on the QD ?
PbS QD is the most promising materials for optoelectronics application.
The synthesis of this PbS QD is quite easy. You can read this paper (DOI: 10.1002/adma.200305395)
