Using the potential morphing method within the finite depth square-well effective mass approximation, we calculate the exciton energy of narrow band gap colloidal PbS, PbSe, and InAs quantum dots, assuming a size dependent dielectric function. Concerning the behaviour of the effective band gap with the quantum dot radius, our theoretical results agree well with the experimental ones, in contrast with other theoretical models.

AbstractOptical fiber in conjunction with ZnTe quantum dots (QDs) is investigated for sensing application. ZnTe QDs, are synthesized by a simple chemical bottom up approach. Quantum dots are capped with L-Cystein ethyl ester hydrochloride (LEEH), to increase their stability. Then LEEH capped ZnTe QDs, whose size is estimated as 2.29 nm by effective mass approximation (EMA), are dip-coated on a cladding removed optical fiber. Different concentrations of alcohol and ammonia are used to investigate the sensing behavior. It is found that sensitivity of the sensor increases with the use of QDs for both alcohol and ammonia.
