Surface charges and optical characteristic of colloidal cubic SiC nanocrystals

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Colloidal cubic silicon carbide (SiC) nanocrystals with an average diameter of 4.4 nm have been fabricated by anisotropic wet chemical etching of microsized cubic SiC powder. Fourier transform infrared spectra show that these cubic SiC nanocrystals contain carbox...
