American Elements is a manufacturer and supplier specializing in producing Cadmium Selenide/Zinc Sulfide (CdSe/ZnS) Quantum Dots. CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots are core-shell structured inorganic nanocrystals where an inner core of Zinc Selenide is encapsulated in an outer core of wider band gap Cadmium Selenide. Cadmium Selenide/Zinc Sulfide Quantum Dots exhibit spectra emission ranges from 530 nanometers (nm) to 610 nanometers (nm) wavelengths. They are high luminosity inorganic particles soluble in various organic solutions. Cadmium Selenide/Zinc Sulfide Quantum Dots are nanoparticles of Cadmium Selenide/Zinc Sulfide semiconductor crystals with the novel property of having an extremely narrow emission spectrum (Gaussian Distribution) that is directly proportional to the particle's size. The smaller the particle the more its emission is blue shifted and conversely the larger the particle size, the more its emission is red shifted. Cadmium Selenide/Zinc Sulfide Quantum Dots have the potential to turn light emitting diodes (LED) from merely display devises to illumination devices creating the first solid state lighting sources. Technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available. American Elements manufactures quantum dots from several semiconductor materials, including
Cadmium Telluride (CdTe), Cadmium Selenide/Zinc Sulfide (CdSe/ZnS),
Lead Selenide (PbSe) and
Zinc Cadmium Selenide/Zinc Sulfide (ZnCdSe/ZnS) nanoparticles with well-defined peak emission frequencies.
