Effects of Aromatic Thiol Capping Agents on the Structural and Electronic Properties of CdnTen (n = 6,8 and 9) Quantum Dots

Thiols are efficient capping agents used for the synthesis of semiconductor and metal nanoparticles. Commonly, long-chain thiols are used as passivating agents to provide stabilization to nanoparticles. Theoretical methods rarely reported aromatic thiol ligands’ effects on small-sized CdTe quantum d...
