  • Title: Langmuir-Blodgett monolayers of InP quantum dots with short chain ligands.
    Author: Lambert K, Wittebrood L, Moreels I, Deresmes D, Grandidier B, Hens Z.
    Journal: J Colloid Interface Sci; 2006 Aug 15; 300(2):597-602. PubMed ID: 16677661.
    Abstract:
    We demonstrate the organization of nearly monodisperse colloidal InP quantum dots at the air/water interface in Langmuir monolayers. The organization of the particles is monitored in situ by surface pressure-surface area measurements and ex situ by AFM measurements on films transferred to mica by Langmuir-Blodgett deposition. The influence of different ligands on the quality of the monolayer formed has been studied. We show that densely packed monolayers with little holes can be formed using short chain ligands like pyridine and pentamethylene sulfide. The advantage of using short chain ligands for electron tunneling to or from the quantum dots is demonstrated using scanning tunneling spectroscopy.
