single source precursor

The work presented in this thesis reports the use of a series of novel thiobiuret metal complexes [M(SON(CNiPr2)2)n] (M = Cu, Ni, Fe, Zn, Cd or In; n = 2 or 3) for the first time as single source precursors for the colloidal synthesis of metal sulfide nanoparticles. Other single…

The work described herein deals with the synthesis and characterization of lead chalcogenide thin films and nanocrystals. The first part of thesis describes the properties of semiconductors followed by an analysis on the chemical vapour deposition and nanoparticulate formation. …
