Investigation of Microwave Irradiation Procedure for Synthesizing CdSe Quantum Dots

Figure 1

Array of quantum dots in glass vials immediately after microwave synthesis under visible light (a) and under 365 nm UV light (b). From left to right, hold temperatures were 120°C, 140°C, 170°C, 200°C, and 265°C, with hold time remaining constant at 2 min 30 s.
