title: Synthesis of colloidal HgTe quantum dots for narrow mid-IR emission and detection.
abstract: HgTe colloidal quantum dots are prepared via a simple two-step injection method. Absorption and photodetection with sharp edges, as well as narrow photoluminescence, are tunable across the near and mid-IR between 1.3 and 5 μm.
