Absorption and fluorescence spectra showed that the as-prepared CdTe QDs had good photoluminescence property. A kind of self-assembly aggregation of the prepared CdTe-wdp nanoparticles was observed as the first time in solid phase. The QDs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Steady state fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescent imaging using BAB Image Analysis System®, Transmission-electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). </span> <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={KCST Founding Board}
