Fig. 3. Optical and crystalline properties of Au–ZnTe core–shell nanoparticles. (A) Displays the UV absorption range for ZnTe and Au–ZnTe nanoparticles. (B) Displays a constant PL emission maxima at 400 nm observed at different excitation wavelengths (1: 300 nm; 2: 310 nm; 3: 315 nm). (C) Displays the XRD pattern for Au–ZnTe core–shell nanoparticles.
