Figure 3 Absorption and emission spectra of hydrogen fluoride (HF)-treated InPQDs for different mean diameters. a, b, and c mark the excitonic transitions apparentin the absorption spectra. <strong>All</strong> samples were excited at 2.5 eV. (From Ref. 10.)shifted deep-trap emission from the as-prepared colloidal QDs was eliminated<strong>by</strong> etching the QDs in hydrogen fluoride (HF) (see Sect. III.A). The absorptionspectra show one or more broad excitonic peaks; as expected, thespectra shift to higher energy as the QD size decreases [10]. The color of theInP QD samples changes from deep red (1.7 eV) to green (2.4 eV) as the diameterdecreases from 60 to 26 A˚ . Bulk InP is black with a room-temperaturebandgap of 1.35 eV and an absorption onset at 918 nm. Higher-energytransitions above the first excitonic peak in the absorption spectra can alsobe easily seen in QD samples with mean diameters equal to or greater than 30A˚ . The spread in QD diameters is generally about 10% and is somewhat<strong>Copyright</strong> <strong>2004</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Marcel</strong> <strong>Dekker</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. <strong>All</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> <strong>Reserved</strong>.
