摘要
A synthesis of soluble III-V semiconductor quantum rods using gold nanoparticles to direct and catalyze one-dimensional growth is developed. The growth takes place via the solution-liquid-solid (SLS) mechanism where proper precursors are injected into a coordinating solvent. We report the synthesis of InP nanorods using indium acetate and myristic acid with gold nanoparticles as the catalysts in the SLS growth mode. A similar route was successfully developed for the growth of InAs nanorods. We find that the amount of An catalyst in the reaction is an important parameter to achieve shape control. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of InP and InAs nanocrystals revealed that the crystals are mostly rod-shaped, and provide strong evidence for An presence in one edge. The rods were characterized structurally using X-ray diffraction and high-resolution TEM and optically by absorption and photoluminescence. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
