摘要
Wide bandgap II-VI semiconductor quantum dots embedded in glass matrix have shown great potential for opto-electronic device applications. The current problem is to achieve low size dispersion, high volume fraction, and better control over the size of the quantum dots in glass matrix. In this work, a modified growth method has been proposed to achieve a greater control over the size of quantum dots, to reduce their size dispersion and to increase their volume fraction. A theoretical model has been developed to quantitatively estimate the various parameters of the quantum dots. The effects of aging on various parameters of quantum dots in Semiconductor-Doped Glass (SDG) samples have also been discussed in the present work.
