Figure 18 Transmission electron microscopic image of close-packed array of 49-ÅInP QDs.hexagonal network made with QDs 57 A˚ in diameter and which are cappedwith dodecanethiol; InP QDs capped with oleyamine can form monolayerswith shorter-range hexagonal order. The QDs in these arrays have sizedistribution of about 10%, and with such a size distribution, the arrays canonly exhibit local order. To form colloidal crystals with a high degree of orderin the QD packing, the size distribution of the QD particles must have a meandeviation less than about 5% and uniform shape. Murray and co-workers[135] fabricated highly ordered 3D superlattices of CdSe QDs that have a sizedistribution of 3–4%. Figure 19b shows an ordered array of 60-A˚ -diameterInP QDs with multiple layers. A step in the TEM indicates a change in heightof one monolayer.The critical parameters that control inter-QD electronic coupling, andhence carrier transport, include QD size, interdot distance, QD surface chemistry,the work function and dielectric properties of the matrix containing the<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>.
