Not exact matches

Using transmission electron microscopy imaging and powder X-ray diffraction to study the structural characteristics of the nanoparticles and Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies to quantify lattice strain and photoluminescence behavior, the group found a correlation between the amount of tin in the core and how well the core's lattice matched that of the cadmium - sulfide outer shell.

The research team found that by adding tin to the nanoparticle's germanium core, its lattice structure better matched the lattice structure of the cadmium - sulfide coating which allows the particles to absorb more light.
