Semiconductor nanoparticles with size less than 10 nm have an interesting property, called quantum confinement, which represents the introduction of new properties to the materials by tuning their size and composition. In this research, an influence of temperature change on the behaviour of CdSe/CdS semiconductor nanoparticles is investigated. Initially, a comparative study of amplified spontaneous emission of these nanoparticles based on different sizes, such as dots, rods and platelets at room temperature is performed. The study is compared with respect to their sizes that provoke different absorption and emission spectra. The nanoparticles are spin coated on glass slides to make continuous films and then optically pumped by a 355 nm nanosecond laser. The fluorescence and laser emission spectra are measured and compared. Afterwards, the sample is heated up to different temperatures and subsequently, the influence of temperature on their emission spectra is compared for all three nanoparticles. Upon the observation of temperature influence on these nanoparticles, this approach can be adopted in real-life application as a temperature sensor.
