Hansen, and Moungi G. Bawendi* Cite This: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 4088−4092 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Next-generation optoelectronic applications centered in the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength regimes require high-quality materials. Among these materials, colloidal InAs quantum dots (QDs) stand out as an infrared-active candidate material for biological imaging, lighting, and sensing applications. Despite significant development of their optical properties, the synthesis of InAs QDs still routinely relies on hazardous, commercially unavailable precursors. Herein, we describe a straightforward single hot injection procedure revolving around In(I)Cl as the key precursor. Acting as a simultaneous reducing agent and In source, In(I)Cl smoothly reacts with a tris(amino)arsenic precursor to yield colloidal InAs quantitatively and at gram scale. Tuning the reaction temperature produces InAs cores with a first excitonic absorption feature in the range of 700− 1400 nm. A dynamic disproportionation equilibrium between In(I), In metal, and In(III) opens up additional flexibility in precursor selection. CdSe shell growth on the produced cores enhances their optical properties, furnishing particles with center emission wavelengths between 1000 and 1500 nm and narrow photoluminescence full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of about 120 meV throughout. The simplicity, scalability, and tunability of the disclosed precursor platform are anticipated to inspire further research on In-based colloidal QDs.

Military applications have long been the focus of development of infrared detection technology, but as accessibility to infrared detectors grows, industries ranging from waste management to medicine have shown broad uses for the technology. Imaging of biological samples is particularly well suited for near and mid infrared imaging as opaque superficial layers often inhibit the use of visible light to detect underlying structures which may hold diagnostic value. Infrared detecting devices are typically underutilized in a biomedical setting despite there being many potential applications. The primary objective of this research was to provide a proof of concept for a novel transmission filters system in the near and mid infrared range using vertically oriented indium antimonide (InSb) nanostructures. This was achieved by conducting optical simulations of InSb nanowires, developing an ICP-RIE etching process suitable for InSb, and, lastly, by measuring specular reflectance of the InSb nanostructure arrays using FT-IR microscopy.

    III-V Material Properties Welcome to this section on III-V PV technology. In this video we will discuss the material properties of the semiconductors used for this technology. In this video, you will learn what the III-V PV technology exactly is and how it is different from other solar cell technologies. We will then discuss the structural properties of III-V semiconductors. In the next video we will look into the electrical and optical properties of III- V materials. The III-V PV technology, as the name implies, utilizes elements of the 3-A group and the 5-A group in the periodic table of elements. As you might recall, group 3 elements have 3 electrons in their outer valence shell, and group 5 elements have 5 valence electrons. One of the most common III-V absorber materials is formed by bonding the group 3 material gallium, with the group 5 material arsenic. Several such combinations are possible however, and many different III-V alloys are used as an absorber material by the PV industry. Examples include Gallium phosphide, Indium phosphide, indium arsenide, Gallium indium arsenide, gallium indium phosphide, aluminium-gallium-indium-arsenide and aluminium- gallium-indium-phosphide. An important question for III-V technology is how abundant are the III- and V- elements. As discussed at the start of this course, of these five elements, only aluminium and phosphorus are relatively abundant in nature. Gallium, arsenide and germanium are not rare or precious metals, but they are much less abundant than silicon. Indium is rare and in high demand.
