Shifting behavior in photoluminescence spectra of newly synthesized cadmium selenide and ferroelectric liquid crystals nanocomposite

Abstract A unique method has been adopted to prepare cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanostructures using isopropyl amine as a reactant. By introducing CdSe nanostructures in ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) at room temperature a significant blue shift is observed. Such blue shift is noticed with the variation of concentration of FLC molecules as well as CdSe nanostructures. Photoluminescence spectra are clearly indicating a broad strong peak at lower wavelength side expected to cover a broad spectra region with the variation of FLC molecules as well as CdSe nanostructures in FLC CdSe hybrid nanostructures composites.
