Abstract

We present the synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline II-VI semiconductors of mixed composition (CdSe/ZnSe, CdS) grown in fatty acid Langmuir-Schaefer multi-layer templates. The controlled production of i) homogeneous nanocrystalline CdxZn1−xSe alloys and ii) heterogeneous mixtures of different pure composition II-VI semiconductors such as CdSe and ZnSe provides, in addition to the size control, the parameter of the chemical composition for the fine tuning of the electronic properties. The samples are characterized bty optical and quasi-resonance micro-Raman spectroscopy.
