Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are a fascinating class of semiconducting nanocrystals,
thanks to their optical properties tunable through size and composition, and simple synthesis …

Conspectus Pairs of coupled quantum dots with controlled coupling between the two
potential wells serve as an extremely rich system, exhibiting a plethora of optical …

We report a study of Zn2+ by Cd2+ cation exchange (CE) in colloidal ZnSe nanocrystals
(NCs). Our results reveal that CE in ZnSe NCs is a thermally activated isotropic process. The …

Nanoshell quantum dots (QDs) represent a novel class of colloidal semiconductor
nanocrystals (NCs), which supports tunable optoelectronic properties over the extended …

Whispering-gallery-mode resonators have been extensively used in conjunction with
different materials for the development of a variety of photonic devices. Among the latter …

The most recent class of semiconductor nanocrystal to be synthesized colloidally is the
quantum well, in which carriers are confined quantum mechanically in only one dimension …

Colloidal one-dimensional semiconductor nanoheterostructures have emerged as an
important family of functional materials for solar energy conversion, although the nature of …

The first circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) excitation (CPLE) measurements of poly
(fluorene-alt-bithiophene)(PF8T2) aggregates with bisignate CPL/circular dichroism (CD) …

Excimers, a portmanteau of “excited dimer”, are transient species that are formed from the
electronic interaction of a fluorophore in the excited state with a neighbor in the ground state …

We report scalable controlled synthesis of CdSe tetrapods with high morphological
uniformity based on the continuous precursor injection (CPI) approach with halide ligands …
