BLUE LIGHT EMITTING NANOMATERIALS AND SYNTHESIS THEREOF

摘要

Methods for the production of a blue light emitting nanomaterial are provided comprising nitriding Group 13 metals to produce nitrided Group 13 metals and doping the nitrided Group 13 metals with a dopant, particularly an M2+ dopant, such as Mg2+ or Zn2+, to produce doped nanoparticles. Blue light emitting nanocomposites on other materials, such as SiO2 or TiO2, are also provided. Blue light emitting nanomaterials and nanocomposites also can be coupled to photonic crystals. Nanocrystal-based electroluminescence device are also disclosed.
