Abstract

Semiconducting CuInxGa1-xSe2 nanocrystals (20-30 nm) have been synthesized over the whole composition range using a facile solution-based method. Depending on the synthesis conditions, the nanocrystals exhibit a cubic or spherical morphology with a narrow size distribution. The band gap increases with increasing Ga concentration and the values are close to those observed in the bulk.
