Abstract
Relatively monodisperse, highly luminescent zinc blende ZnSe nanocrystals are synthesized in a hexadecylamine/trioctylphosphine coordination solvent. The controlled growth process affords tunable sample sizes. Pure band-edge fluorescence size-tunable between 2.8 and 3.4 eV is obtained at room temperature with quantum yields between 20% and 50% relative to Stilbene 420.
