This review captures the synthesis, assembly, properties, and applications of copper
chalcogenide NCs, which have achieved significant research interest in the last decade due …

Ternary and quaternary chalcopyrite-type nanocrystals of MIMIIIE2 and MIMIIIZnE2 type (MI=
Ag, Cu; MIII= In, Fe; E= S, Se) and their core/shell structures have attracted a huge interest in …

Among the advantages of multicomponent nanocrystals is the possibility to adjust their
electronic and optical properties with composition as well as size. However, the synthesis of …

We report the synthesis of a size series of copper indium selenide quantum dots (QDs) of
various stoichiometries exhibiting photoluminescence (PL) from the red to near-infrared …

Near-infrared (NIR) semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) represent promising fluorescent
probes for biological and biomedical imaging. CuInSe2 is a good candidate for these …

The nonstoichiometry of I–III–VI semiconductor nanoparticles, especially the ratio of group I
to group III elements, has been utilized to control their physicochemical properties. We report …

Ternary I–III–VI nanocrystals, such as silver indium selenide (AISe), are candidates to
replace cadmium-and lead-based chalcogenide nanocrystals as efficient emitters in the …

Through calculating the band structures of the defect chalcopyrite semiconductor Cu1−
xGaSbxTe2 with the proper addition of Sb to CuGaTe2, we have demonstrated that Sb …

We synthesized the solid solutions CuGa 1− x In x Te 2 (x= 0–1.0) by isoelectronic
substitution of element In (Ga) for Ga (In) in the CuMTe 2 (M= Ga, In) lattices and examined …

Cu-deficient phases of chalcopyrite Cu (In, Ga) Se 2 (CIGS), such as Cu (In, Ga) 3 Se 5 and
Cu (In, Ga) 5 Se 8, which are occasionally referred to as ordered vacancy compounds and …
