KAWANISHI, Japan -- Quantum dots are extremely small fluorescent nanoparticles typically between 10 to several thousand atoms, and up to 9nm in diameter. The electronic characteristics of quantum dots ...
Like snowflakes or fingerprints, no two quantum dots are identical. But a new etching method for shaping and positioning these semiconductor nanocrystals might change that. What's more, tests at the ...
Quantum dots and quantum wells represent pivotal semiconductor nanostructures whose quantum confinement effects yield discrete energy spectra and highly tunable optical and electronic properties.
