Alexandra Yeromina studies the synthesis of III-V semiconductor quantum dots, such as InP and InAs. These compounds represent a greener alternative to the widely used but toxic cadmium- and lead-based QDs. In her poster, she presents a novel more sustainable synthetic route recently developed in the group. This is based on the use of aminopnictogens (e.g. aminophosphine) with indium monohalides (In(I)X). This method provides access to tetrahedral QDs with tunable size, narrow emission line widths down to 110 meV and photoluminescence quantum yields up to 80%.
