InAs Nanorod Colloidal Quantum Dots with Tunable Bandgaps Deep into the Short-Wave Infrared

Authors:

Abstract
InAs colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have emerged as candidate lead- and mercury-free solution-processed semiconductors for infrared technology due to their appropriate bulk bandgap, which can be tuned by quantum confinement, and promising charge-carrier transport properties. However, the lack of suitable arsenic precursors and readily accessible synthesis conditions have limited InAs CQDs to smaller sizes (in situ precursor complexation, we isolate the reaction mechanism, producing InAs nanorod CQDs that display narrow excitonic features and efficient carrier multiplication. Our work enables InAs CQDs for a wider range of SWIR applications.
