Highly crystalline and monodisperse In 2 O 3 nanoparticles have been prepared by thermal decomposition of In(acac) 3 in oleylamine under inert atmosphere. The particle size of In 2 O 3 can be easily manipulated by changing the experimental conditions. A weak size dependence of photoluminescence is also demonstrated. The Figure shows a 3D superlattice of 6 nm diameter nanoparticles.
