The Dawn of New Quantum Dots: Synthesis and Characterization of Ge1-xSnx Nanocrystals for Tunable Bandgaps.

Ge1-xSnx alloys are among a small class of benign semiconductors with composition tunable bandgaps in the near-infrared spectrum. As the amount of Sn is increased the band energy decreases and a transition from indirect to direct band structure occurs. Hence, they are prime candidates for fabricatio...
