Abstract

We report the results of 31P NMR measurements on trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) passivated InP quantum dots. The spectra show distinct surface-capping sites, implying a manifold of crystalligand bonding configurations. Two In31P surface components are resolved and related to different electronic surroundings. With decreasing particle size the In 31P core resonance reveals an increasing upfield chemical shift related to the overall size dependence of the InP electronic structure.
