Published: December 2018

Preparations of CdTe quantum platelets, magic-size (CdTe) nanoclusters, and CdTe quantum wires are described using (MeN)PTe (with (MeN)P) as a Te precursor. The (MeN)PTe/(MeN)P precursor mixture is shown to be more reactive than mixtures of trialkylphosphine tellurides and the corresponding trialkylphosphines, RPTe/RP, which are commonly employed in nanocrystal syntheses. For syntheses conducted in primary amine solvents, (MeN)PTe and (MeN)P undergo a transamination reaction, affording (MeN) (RHN)PTe and (MeN) (RHN)P (R = n-octyl or oleyl). The transaminated (MeN) (RHN)PTe derivatives are shown to be the likely Te precursors under those conditions. The enhanced reactivities of the tris(amino)phosphine tellurides are ascribed to increased nucleophilicity due to the amino-N lone pairs.

A dual-signal aptamer-based assay utilizing colorimetric and fluorescence techniques was developed for the determination of zearalenone (ZEN). The CdTe quantum dots, serving as the fluorescent signal source, were surface-modified onto FeO@SiO and subsequently functionalized with the aptamer. The COF-Au was modified with complementary chain, which possessed peroxide (POD)-like enzyme properties, and could catalyze the peroxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to ox TMB, resulting in the generation of colorimetric signals.

Photodetectors (PDs) based on mix-dimensional heterojunctions (MDHJs) built from 2D layered materials and covalent-bonded semiconductors show the prospect of compensating the intrinsic weakness of 2D materials to realize their full potential. However, there is an open issue to improve the temporal response of PDs while maintaining high gain and sensitivity. Herein, photoconductive type MDHJs PDs with 2D InSe and covalent-bonded CdTe thin film are designed and fabricated in which InSe is the active layer and CdTe is the medium gain one.

Amplified spontaneous emission of CdTe and CdTe-Ag quantum dot composites were compared for increasing the optical stripe length, whereby optical gain coefficients for various emission wavelengths were obtained. In the case of CdTe-Ag nanoparticle composites, we observed that plasmonic coupling causes both optical enhancement and quenching at different wavelengths, where the amplified spontaneous emission intensity becomes enhanced at short wavelengths but suppressed at long wavelengths (>600 nm). To analyze the logistic stripe length dependence of amplified spontaneous emission intensity, we used a differential method to obtain the gain coefficient beyond the amplification range.

Background: Assessing the performance of spectral detectors is an important but nontrivial problem. In the past few years, detective quantum efficiency-(DQE)-like quantities have been proposed that allow quantifying the spatial-spectral performance for certain tasks. In previous publications, we have presented and validated an approach to determine detector properties like the modulation transfer function (MTF), the noise power spectrum (NPS), and the DQE based on an end-to-end Monte Carlo model of the detection process.
