RESUMO

In this work, we make a description and analysis of the fabrication method s of the PbTe quantum dots (QD) doped glasses and characterization techniques used by study the properties of the glasses. We have prepared glasses doped with 5 and 10 % of PbTe respectively. The characterization was by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), Thermal Mechanics Analysis (TMA), Scattering Angle Small X-Ray (SAXS) and Uv-Vis NIR Absorption Spectroscopy. Our Results shown that with simple thermal treatment in borosilicate matrixes is possible developed PbTe quantum dots narrow size distributions and the mean mechanism of growth is controlled by diffusion. In the borosilicate glasses the high size distribution for the quantum dots was 8 % and the activation energy in the BSZK matrix was 474 KJ/mol and 133 KJ/mol in the BSZPN matrix. With the SAXS and absorption spectroscopy measurements, we have shown that the effective mass approximation model s is not valid for PbTe quantum dots and the physics of quantum confinement is more complicate that box model. The absorption spectra of the doped glasses with PbTe shown the blue shift the absorption edges and wells resolved peaks. We shown that controlling the size of quantum dots is possible shifted the absorption edge between 1000 and 2000 nm therefore it is possible tuning the optic gap in the 1300 and 1500 nm region. These properties can be used for application in photonics devices
