The study of quantum dots consisting of colloidal nanocrystal semiconductor particles in strong quantum confinement have become a very important topic of interest due to their applications in medical imaging, quantum computing, solar cells, and diode lasers. Indium phosphide quantum dots in particular have been used in laser diodes. The goal of this study is to synthesize indium phosphide quantum dots and characterize through: Tunneling Electron Microscopy, Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy, and Fluorescence spectroscopy. These quantum dots will then be used to prepare a diode. Lastly, the diode will be prepared for use in a custom built laser.
