摘要
Strong room-temperature luminescence spectra for cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanometer quantum dots (NQDs) were obtained using a xenon lamp. The samples were fabricated of various concentrations of semiconductor NQDs in the hybrid sol-gel matrix. Concentration dependent total absorption showed a linear relationship following the Beer-Lambert law. An excess H2S source reduced the luminescence intensity, shifted the spectra peak to the red, and broadened the spectra. These excess H2S phenomena disappeared after a certain period of time in ambient conditions. The result showed that strong luminescence in CdS in hybrid-sol-gel matrix can be achieved without any casing. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
