Abstract
Ion implantation is a versatile tool for the formation of compound semicond uctor nanocrystal precipitates in a host medium with the ultimate goal of p roducing a uniform size distribution of quantum dots for use in optical dev ices. Ion implantation was used to form ZnS, CdS, and PbS nanocrystals in b oth glass and crystalline hosts, and the precipitate microstructures and si ze distributions were investigated by TEM techniques. The size distribution s were found to be significantly different for the three compounds, and sev eral unusual microstructures were observed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
