Nanoparticles were self-assembled directly on a glass substrate using spin coating method without introducing any matrix. Colloidal powdered and thin film forms were characterised by absorbance photolimunescence XRD FT-IR HRTEM and AFM measurements. The HRTEM images give a grain size of 2.5-3.0 nm and this is in agreement with the values found in the absorbance and XRD measurement. Average size of the quantum dots increase with increasing of heat treatment temperature due to Oswald ripening.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCdS quantum dotsSelf-assembled thin film precursor3-Mercaptopropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPS)Sol-gel methodArticle23924748WOS:000290103000002N/AQ3
