Figure 5. Increasing fluorescence quantum yield as a function of shell thickness for CdSe/CdS core shell nanocrystals.

Figure 5

The fluorescent quantum yield peaks for a shell thickness of 7Å. The degradation of the fluorescent quantum yield is likely the result of the formation of CdS nanocrystal which will absorb light but not contribute to the desired luminescence.71
