Colloidal indium arsenide (InAs) quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized by heating an organometallic solution containing the easy-to-handle arsenic source triphenylarsine and indium tribromide in a mixture of oleylamine, tri-n-octylphosphine and octadecene. The one-pot reaction was heated at 320°C to g...
