전기방사법을 이용하여 PVK-CdTe 용액으로 하이브리드 나노파이버를 제조하였다. 하이브리드 나노파이버 형상은 광학현미경과 Scanning Electron Microscope으로 관찰되었으며, 직경은 $300nm\;{\sim}\;30{\mu}m$이고, 길이는 $500\;{\mu}m$이상 이였다. PVK-CdTe 하이브리드 나노파이버의 Photoluminescence 측정을 통하여 하이브리드 나노파이버내에 나노입자특성을 유지한 CdTe 나노입자의 존재를 확인하였으며, 대기와 진공 중에서의 I-V 측정을 통해 진공 상태에서보다 대기상태에서 약 2배 정도 전류가 증가한다는 것을 알았다.

Electrical characteristics of field-effect thin film transistors (TFTs) with p-channels of CdTe/CdHgTe core-shell nanocrystals are investigated in this paper. For the fabrication of bottom- and top-gate TFTs, CdTe/CrHgTe nanocrystals synthesized by colloidal method are first dispersed on oxidized p+ Si substrates by spin-coating, the dispersed nanoparticles are sintered at $150^{\circ}C$ to form the channels for the TFTs, and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ layers are deposited on the channels. A representative bottom-gate field-effect TFT with a bottom-gate $SiO_2$ layer exhibits a mobility of $0.21cm^2$/ Vs and an Ion/Ioff ratio of $1.5{\times}10^2$ and a representative top-gate field-effect TFT with a top-gate $Al_{2}O_{3}$ layer provides a field-effect mobility of $0.026cm^2$/ Vs and an Ion/Ioff ratio of $2.5{\times}10^2$. $Al_{2}O_{3}$ was deposited for passivation of CdTe/CdHgTe core-shell nanocrystal layer, resulting in enhanced hole mobility, Ior/Ioff ratio by 0.25, $3{\times}10^3$, respectively. The CdTe/CdHgTe nanocrystal-based TFTs with bottom- and top gate geometries are compared in this paper.

This paper focuses on the after synthesis of CdTe quantum dots(QDs) in aqueous solution. CdTe nanoparticles were prepared in aqueous solution using mercaptocarboxylic acid or thioglycolic acid(TGA) as stabilizing agents. QDs emit light smaller than the nano size. The contents of the mercaptocarboxylic acid, and a kind of raw material, were revealed for a period of time. We succeeded in synthesizing a very high quality QDs solution; we discussed how to make QDs better and to keep them stabilized. TGA is known as one of the best stabilizing agents. Many papers have mentioned that TGA is a good stabilizing agent. We dramatically confirmed the state of QDs after the experiments. The QDs solution can be influenced by several factors. Different content of TGA can influence the stability of the CdTe solution. Most papers deal with the synthesis of CdTe, so we decided to discuss the after synthesis process for the stability of the CdTe solution.

Nanomaterials (NMs) based on cadmium telluride (CdTe) are the theme of numerous research areas due to their unique chemical and physical properties. NM synthesis via a size-controlled procedure has become an intriguing research topic because NMs exhibit novel optical and physical properties depending on their size and shape. In this study, we prepared CdTe nanowires (NWs) via self-assembly from individual Nanoparticles (NPs). Thioglycolic acid (TGA)-to-Cd ion ratio of 1.3 was used instead of the traditional value of 2.4 and the reduced amount of stabilizer resulted in reorganization from individual NPs into NWs consisting of multi-layers of individual NPs. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed to characterize NWs. The produced nanowires were straight and long in shape and their length ranged from 500 nm to tens of micrometers.

Herein we report the in-situ synthesis and direct decoration of chalcogenide naoparticles (NPs) onto multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) through an ionic liquid-assisted sonochemical method (ILASM). The as-obtained MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/CdTe, MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/ZnTe and MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/ZnSe nanocomposites were characterized by TEM images and EDS spectra. In particular, the morphologies of nanocomposites such as bump-like, rough, and smooth core-shell structures were strongly influenced by the type of precursors and the interactions with MWCNT. This synthetic strategy opens a new way to directly synthesize and deposit semiconducting NPs (s-NPs) onto CNTs, which consist of binary components obtained from two precursors with different reaction rates.
