The quantum dot, one of the central materials in nanoscience, is a semiconductor crystal
with a physical size on the nanometer length scale. It is often called an “artificial atom” …

This review article provides an overview of recent advances in the study and understanding
of dynamics of excitons in semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) or quantum dots (QDs) …

Semiconductor nanocrystals exhibit a wide range of size-dependent properties. Variations in
fundamental characteristics ranging from phase transitions to electrical conductivity can be …

Low-dimensional semiconductor structures, often referred to as nanocrystals or quantum
dots, exhibit fascinating behavior and have a multitude of potential applications, especially …

We use external magnetic fields to identify the band edge emitting state in CdSe quantum
dots. The field dependence of emission decays and LO phonon spectra show the …

In the monograph, the first of this type in the world, the authors discuss systematically the
current state of investigations into nanocrystalline materials. The experimental results on the …

The ability to confine electrons and holes in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in the form
of excitons creates an electronic structure which is both novel and potentially useful for a …

Abstract Properties of materials determined by their size are indeed fascinating and form the
basis of the emerging area of nanoscience. In this article, we examine the size dependent …

We study the luminescence of surface modified CdSe nanocrystallites. There has been
much speculation as to the origin of the band edge emission in these quantum confined …

Ag2S quantum dots (QDs) have attracted increasing attention due to their appealing optical
properties in the near-infrared regime. However, a full understanding of the quantum …
