Abstract

We report strong photoluminescence in an ultra-small surface oxidized SiC quantum dot-sodium dodecyl sulfonate crosslinked network. The peak emission wavelength is tunable spanning a wide blue-violet spectral region showing clear quantum confinement effects. The photoluminescence decay exhibits triple recombination dynamics with an average lifetime of 13.65 ns.
