The surface passivation of luminescent CdS quantum dots (QDs) via epitaxial overgrowth of new alloyed ternary AgZnSe shell layer is reported here. Two synthetic fabrication strategies were used to tune the optical properties ...

Synthesis of fluorescent alloyed quantum dots (QDs) with unique optical properties suitable for a wide array of chemical, physical and biological applications is of research interest. In this work, highly luminescent and ...
