The properties of colloidal quantum-confined semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), including
zero-dimensional (0D) quantum dots, 1D nanorods, 2D nanoplatelets, and their …

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the infrared (IR) are promising building blocks for
numerous photonic, optoelectronic and biomedical applications owing to their low-cost …

The subject of this review is the colloidal quantum dot (QD) and specifically the interaction of
the QD with proximate molecules. It covers various functions of these molecules, including (i) …

Abstract Quantum Dot Sensitized Solar Cells are considered as the potential third
generation solar cells due to their suitable optoelectronic properties for photovoltaic …

Time-resolved, pulsed terahertz spectroscopy has developed into a powerful tool to study
charge carrier dynamics in semiconductors and semiconductor structures over the past …

Nanocrystals (NCs) discussed in this Review are tiny crystals of metals, semiconductors,
and magnetic material consisting of hundreds to a few thousand atoms each. Their size …

Semiconductors show dramatic quantization effects when charge carriers (electrons and
holes) are confined by potential barriers to small regions of space where the dimensions of …

The conversion of light into free electron–hole pairs constitutes the key process in the fields
of photodetection and photovoltaics. The efficiency of this process depends on the …

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are nanometer-sized particles of semiconductor dispersed
in a solvent with the aid of a stabilizing ligand. CQDs' physical dimensions and shape dictate …
