The core-shell quantum dots (CSQDs) are three-dimensional (3D) confined semiconductor
nanoparticles that are widely researched to accommodate the needs of modern-day …

The field of nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) is already more than 30 years old, and yet
continuing interest in these structures is driven by both the fascinating physics emerging …

This review traces nanocrystal quantum dot (QD) research from the early discoveries to the
present day and into the future. We describe the extensive body of theoretical and …

Nanocrystals (NCs) are one of the few nanotechnologies to have attained mass market
applications with their use as light sources for displays. This success relies on Cd-and In …

Hybrid nanostructures are a class of materials that are typically composed of two or more
different components, in which each component has at least one dimension on the …

Among the various postsynthesis treatments of colloidal nanocrystals that have been
developed to date, transformations by cation exchange have recently emerged as an …

Commercial infrared (IR) photodetectors based on epitaxial growth inorganic
semiconductors, eg InGaAs and HgCdTe, suffer from high fabrication cost, poor compatibility …

This review summarizes traditional and recent nonconventional, bioinspired, methods for the
aqueous synthesis of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The basic chemistry …

Nanomaterials have, by definition, one or more dimension in the nanometer scale (≤ 100
nm) range and subsequently show novel properties from their bulk materials. The synthesis …

Since the first description by Fievet, Lagier and Figlarz in 1989, the synthesis of
nanoparticles in high-boiling, multivalent alcohols–so-called polyols–has been developed …
