The islands can be subsequently buried to form the quantum dot. A widely used type of quantum dots grown with this method are indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) quantum dots in gallium arsenide (GaAs). [43] Such quantum dots have the potential for applications in quantum cryptography (that is, single-photon sources) and quantum computation. The ...
Some authors have provided evidence of size-dependent fluorescence properties, suggesting that the emission arises from electronic transitions with the core of the dots, influenced by quantum confinement effects, [10] [11] whereas other works, including single particle measurements, [12] have rather attributed the fluorescence to recombination ...
Silicon quantum dots are metal-free biologically compatible quantum dots with photoluminescence emission maxima that are tunable through the visible to near-infrared spectral regions. These quantum dots have unique properties arising from their indirect band gap , including long-lived luminescent excited-states and large Stokes shifts .
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are graphene nanoparticles with a size less than 100 nm. [1] Due to their exceptional properties such as low toxicity, stable photoluminescence , chemical stability and pronounced quantum confinement effect, GQDs are considered as a novel material for biological, opto-electronics, energy and environmental applications.
Quantum dots are popular alternatives to organic dyes as fluorescent labels for biological imaging and sensing due to their small size, tuneable emission, and photostability. The luminescent properties of quantum dots arise from exciton decay (recombination of electron hole pairs) which can proceed through a radiative or nonradiative pathway.
Resonance fluorescence has been seen in a single self-assembled quantum dot as presented by Muller among others in 2007. [7] In the experiment they used quantum dots that were grown between two mirrors in the cavity. Thus the quantum dot was not placed in the cavity, but instead created in it.
Fabrication of the quantum dot LED involved a blue chip as a blue light source and a silicon resin containing the quantum dots on top of the chip creating the sample, with good results obtained from the experiment. [23] Silicon A third type of quantum dot that does not contain heavy metals is the silicon quantum dot.
Quantum dots (QDs) are nano-scale semiconductor particles on the order of 2–10 nm in diameter. They possess electrical properties between those of bulk semi-conductors and individual molecules, as well as optical characteristics that make them suitable for applications where fluorescence is desirable, such as medical imaging.
