One-pot synthesis and third-order nonlinear optical properties of AgInS2 nanocrystals

Good quality colloidal nanocrystals of metastable orthorhombic phase of AgInS2 obtained by decomposing the single-precursor [(Ph3P)(2)AgIn(SCOPh)(4)] in a mixture of dodecanethiol and oleic acid at 125 - 200 degrees C, exhibit significant third order non-linear optical properties.
