Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems are provided for a homogenous, single crystal, electrically conductive, and narrow bandgap PbSe nanostructure is synthesized using a chemical bath deposition on, for example, quartz substrates, and includes a tunable iodine doping process to select the size and/or shape of the nanostructures. The single crystalline PbSe nanostructure can be exposed following an isolation process (e.g., etching process), and the concentration and/or distribution of iodine across multiple PbSe nanostructures (e.g., on a quartz substrate) can be adjusted during post processing steps, including heat treatments.
