The structural and optical studies were carried out on the as-prepared InPQDs. The quantum yield of the nanocrystals was recorded as 6% and a 1.4 times reduction in the ratio of trap-related emission to band edge emission was observed on ZnSe passivation of the InPQDs.enThis is the author-version of the article published online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2012.12.102InPZnSeQuantum dotsSemiconductor nanocrystalsPhotoluminescencePassivationArticle
