Abstract

This paper studies synthesis of ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) doped with Cu ion in an aqueous solution by using 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) as ligand, and then modified its surface by ZnTe (ZnSe:Cu/ZnTe). The structure, morphology and optical properties of QDs are characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electronic microscopy (HRTEM), ultraviolent-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The sizes of QDs obtained were 4~6 nm. Under an excitation wavelength of 325 nm, peaks of ZnSe:Cu/ZnTe at 510 nm were observed. Especially, the peaks moved to 540 nm after a heat processing at 160 ℃. The facts indicate that the fluorescence emission peak’s positions of ZnSe:Cu QDs capped by ZnTe surface modification can be changed.
