Abstract

Sequential ion implantation followed by thermal annealing has been used to form encapsulated CdS, ZnS, and PbS nanocrystals in SiO2 and Al2O3 matrices. In SiO2, nanoparticles are nearly spherical and randomly oriented, and ZnS and PbS nanocrystals exhibit bimodal size distributions. In Al2O3, nanoparticles are facetted and oriented with respect to the matrix. Initial photoluminescence (PL) results are presented.
