Nanostructures, surface characterization and optical properties of chemically synthesized CdTe quantum dots
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP) - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 6
Abstract
Molar concentrations of chemical ingredients in synthesis of nanocrystals were found significant roles in the structural, surface morphology and visible range optical properties of CdTe quantum dots thin films. XRD, FESEM and UV spectrum analysis revealed that the average particle sizes approach 6-11nm quantum dots with increasing molar concentrations. The study of X-ray line profiles proved that peak intensity was increased with increasing of Cd+2 and Te2- ions in the films. The phase structure of the films were found to possess cubic zinc blend structure with (100), (110), (200), (220) and (321) reflection planes at x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6M and additional planes were also observed at x = 0.8M. In all the films, (200) reflection plane showed most prominent which facilitated estimation of nanoparticle sizes. The sized dependent nanoparticles showed maximum absorption blue shift near 325nm wavelength in ultraviolet regime ascribed as first excitonic transition. This may be attributed with decreasing particle sizes indicating increasing band gap.

A new insight into the physics of Lorentz invariance: Implications for the GZK and TeV-γ photon theories
The main argument of the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) and TeV-γ photon theories1,2,3,4,5,6 is based on the concept of Lorentz invariance. In this paper, we revisit this concept and show that as the mathematical derivati...
A Newly Proposed Model for the Electron
This article is mainly a revision of an article called “Is Schrodinger equation describing a turbulent flow?” and we add some new evidence regarding the possibility of describing the electron as a point vortex.

Interpretation of the Coulomb’s law for a Special Scenario
To date, there exists no evidence both theoretically and experimentally to confirm the breakdown of the Coulomb’s law in any scenario. Here, we present a brief idea theoretically for a special case as to when and why the...
