Abstract
CdS semiconductor quantum dot (QD) structures in aqueous solution are fabricated by using a gamma-ray irradiation technique and their optical absorption spectra are investigated. Cadmium sulfate solution, 2-mercaptoethanol solution, and reducing agent $e^{-}_{aq}$ are employed to produce CdS molecules, leading to CdS quantum dots. The measured linear absorption spectra before and after g-ray irradiation clearly show exciton peaks between 300 nm and 400 nm, which indicate the formation of CdS QD's. It is also observed that the exciton peaks are red-shifted with increasing the g-ray irradiation time from 5 min to 15 min. Therefore, it is concluded that the mean QD sizes can be systematically controlled with the dosage of the g-ray irradiation.
