Preparation and optical properties of highly crystalline, colloidal, and size-controlled indium oxide nanoparticles

Abstract

Highly crystalline and monodisperse In2O3 nanoparticles have been prepared by thermal decomposition of In(acac)(3) in oleylamine under inert atmosphere. The particle size of In2O3 can be easily manipulated by changing the experimental conditions. A weak size demonstrated. The Figure shows a 3D super-lattice of 6 nm diameter nanoparticles.
