AbstractNanocrystalline semiconductor particles exhibit a size dependent bandgap emission, due to size quantisation effects. These particles are derived from solution chemistry and can be made monodisperse under the right synthesis conditions. Compared to organic materials, the inorganic nanoparticles show much higher stability against oxidation and degradation, which makes them an interesting candidate for LEDs and displays. So far, LEDs based on semiconductor nanoparticles typically included low stability organic materials to provide charge injection. The talk will present a new class of nanoparticle LEDs, made without sensitive organic materials. These LEDs show high efficiencies, well defined color throughout the red to green part of the visible spectrum and improved stability under ambient conditions without excessive encapsulation. Using high quality monodisperse suspensions, high color purity is achieved for the emission which paves the road to cheap, high quality displays based on inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles.

ABSTRACTSol-gel processing was used for the fabrication of LiNbO3 thin-layers on semiconductors. Two different alkoxide systems were investigated (i.e., ethoxide vs. methoxyethoxide) to determine the role of solution chemistry on the evolution of structure in LiNbO3 layers. An alcohol exchange reaction, which produced lithium niobium methoxyethoxide, proved advantageous with respect to the amount of hydrolysis water content which could be added to give stable solutions. Spin-casting was used for the deposition of thin-layers which crystallized at 500 C on Si. The refractive index of sol-gel derived LiNbO3 was determined to be similar to sputtered or epitaxially grown films. Data are reported for the processing route and the material characteristics. Methoxyethanol based systems appeared to be more forgiving than ethanol based solutions for the fabrication of high-quality thin-layer devices.
