CdTe semiconductor nanocrystals were synthesized with three different stabilizers: Mercaptoacetic Acid (MAA), Mercaptopropionic Acid (MPA) and 2-Mercaptoethanol (ME) at pH β 11.2 by wet chemical route using potassium tellurite and cadmium chloride as starting materials. The effect of capping agent o

Abstract
We have investigated the evolution of thiolβcapped cadmium telluride nanocrystals prepared in aqueous solutions at low and room temperature followed by heating at 50β100βΒ°C. The UVβvisible absorption spectra, as well as transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and dynamic light scattering observations made it possible to reveal differences in size and structure originating from different heating temperatures. It was shown that minimization of the nucleation process temperature provided formation of larger nanoparticles than at higher temperatures.
