AbstractPowder X-ray diffraction is one of the key techniques used to characterize the inorganic structure of colloidal nanocrystals. The comparatively low scattering factor of nuclei of the organic capping ligands and their propensity to be disordered has led investigators to typically consider them effectively invisible to this technique. In this report, we demonstrate that a commonly observed powder X-ray diffraction peak around $$q=1.4{\AA}^{-1}$$ q = 1.4 Å − 1 observed in many small, colloidal quantum dots can be assigned to well-ordered aliphatic ligands bound to and capping the nanocrystals. This conclusion differs from a variety of explanations ascribed by previous sources, the majority of which propose an excess of organic material. Additionally, we demonstrate that the observed ligand peak is a sensitive probe of ligand shell ordering. Changes as a function of ligand length, geometry, and temperature can all be readily observed by X-ray diffraction and manipulated to achieve desired outcomes for the final colloidal system.

ABSTRACTThe photoluminescence (PL), its temperature dependence and X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been studied in MBE grown GaAs/AlGaAs/InGaAs/AlGaAs /GaAs quantum wells (QWs) with InAs quantum dots embedded in the center of InGaAs layer in the freshly prepared states and after the thermal treatments during 2 hours at 640 or 710 °C. The structures contained two buffer (Al0.3Ga0.7As/In0.15Ga0.85As) and two capping (In0.15Ga0.85As / Al0.3Ga0.7As) layers. The temperature dependences of PL peak positions have been analyzed in the temperature range 10-500K with the aim to investigate the QD composition and its variation at thermal annealing. The experimental parameters of the temperature variation of PL peak position in the InAs QDs have been compared with the known one for the bulk InAs crystals and the QD composition variation due to Ga/Al/In inter diffusion at thermal treatments has been detected. XRD have been studied with the aim to estimate the capping/buffer layer compositions in the different QW layers in freshly prepared state and after the thermal annealing. The obtained emission and XRD data and their dependences on the thermal treatment have been analyzed and discussed.
