Perovskite versus ZnCuInS/ZnS Luminescent Nanoparticles in Wavelength-Shifting Layers for Sensor Applications

Perovskite versus ZnCuInS/ZnS Luminescent Nanoparticles in Wavelength-Shifting Layers for Sensor Applications

In this work, the application of quantum dots is evaluated in order to sensitize the commercially popular Si detectors in the UV range. The wavelength-shifting properties of two types of all-inorganic halide perovskite quantum dots as well as ZnCuInS/ZnS quantum dots are determined in order to asses...
