G. Rafeletos et al., Evidence for the chemical nature of capping in CdSe nanoparticles preparedby thermolysis in tri-n-octylphosphine oxide from P-edge EXAFS spectroscopy, J MAT CHEM, 11(10), 2001, pp. 2542-2544
The nature of the capping agent on the surface of CdSe quantum dots has bee
n investigated using P-edge EXAFS spectroscopy. Two samples prepared by dif
ferent synthetic routes were compared and the results show similar capping
in which tri-n-octylphosphine oxide and tri-n-octylphosphine selenide are b
ound to the surface of the dots.
