Abstract:Because of their unique chemical and physical properties, nanometer-sized semiconductor materials have attracted broad attention in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology. These capabilities are mainly due to the unusual dependence of the electronic and optical properties on quantum confinement, which for semiconductor materials restricts the particle size in the 1 to 10 nm range. We have fabricated and measured novel nanostructures of semiconductor quantum dots capped with surfactants and embedded in o… Show more
