title: Luminescence from single CdSe nanocrystals embedded in ZnO thin films using atomic layer deposition.
abstract: We report the embedding of CdSe/ZnS core-shell nanocrystals into thin films of ZnO grown by atomic layer deposition. Fluorescence from ensembles and that from individual nanocrystals show that the nanocrystal luminescence intensity and stability are preserved through the embedding process. These results are encouraging for the fabrication of optoelectronic nanodevices based on colloidal nanoparticles.
