Growth Kinetics of Zinc Sulphide Nanocrystals Synthesized by Colloidal Thermolysis of Fatty Acid Carboxylates

Figure 7

Arrhenius plot of in (D) against the reciprocal of temperature for ZnS nanocrystal growth in the oleylamine: dodecanethiol (1 : 1) solvent mixture. The nanocrystallite sizes were obtained from the XRD patterns at different reaction temperatures (Figure 3). (The correlation between particle sizes determined by XRD and UV-Vis is shown in Figure S3).
