Abstract

This paper describes the synthesis, characterization and optical properties of binary and ternary mercury chalcogenide quantum dots and clusters. Such materials were made by applying a synthetic strategy involving the simultaneous use of strong Hg(II) coordinating ligands and the explicit phase separation of both metal and chalcogen precursors. High quality QDs and clusters are obtained in this manner with sharply structured absorption and band edge emission covering the visible to near infrared.
