Zn[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text]Te semiconductor nanocrystals in transparent glass for optoelectronic device applications.

Doping glass with semiconductors, particularly with nanostructured semiconductors, has attracted attention due to the large optical absorption cross-sections of the latter. Based on this property, Ni[Formula: see text] (5 wt%) doped phosphate glass and Zn[Formula: see text]Ni[Formula: see text]Te (x = 0.5, 1.
