Investigating the role of zinc precursor during the synthesis of the core of III-V QDs

To investigate the role of Zn precursor based on hard and soft acids and bases theory, we introduced Mn and Ca precursors along with Zn precursor. The synthesis of III-V cores with these three metal precursors revealed that the roles of Zn precursor are as a reaction suppressant, a size regulator, and a dopant. Furthermore, we discovered which role was primarily played by Zn precursor at different concentrations.

Automated summary

By investigating the role of Zn precursor based on hard and soft acids and bases theory, it was found that Zn precursor acts as a reaction suppressant, a size regulator, and a dopant in the synthesis of III-V cores with Mn and Ca precursors. The primary role played by Zn precursor at different concentrations was also revealed in the study.
