  2. Quantum dot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_dot

    Splitting of energy levels for small quantum dots due to the quantum confinement effect. The horizontal axis is the radius, or the size, of the quantum dots and a b * is the exciton's Bohr radius. Band gap energy The band gap can become smaller in the strong confinement regime as the energy levels split up. The exciton Bohr radius can be ...

  3. Degenerate energy levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degenerate_energy_levels

    Degenerate states are also obtained when the sum of squares of quantum numbers corresponding to different energy levels are the same. For example, the three states (n x = 7, n y = 1), (n x = 1, n y = 7) and (n x = n y = 5) all have E = 50 π 2 ℏ 2 2 m L 2 {\displaystyle E=50{\frac {\pi ^{2}\hbar ^{2}}{2mL^{2}}}} and constitute a degenerate set.

  4. Core–shell semiconductor nanocrystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core–shell_semiconductor...

    The quantized energy levels observed in quantum dots lead to electronic structures that are intermediate between single molecules which have a single HOMO-LUMO gap and bulk semiconductors which have continuous energy levels within bands [7] The electronic structure of quantum dots is intermediate between single molecules and bulk semiconductors.

  5. Quantum well - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_well

    Quantum wells transmit electrons of any energy above a certain level, while quantum dots pass only electrons of a specific energy. [ 10 ] One possible application is to convert waste heat from electric circuits, e.g., in computer chips, back into electricity, reducing the need for cooling and energy to power the chip.

  6. Single-electron transistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-electron_transistor

    In the blocking state all lower energy levels are occupied at the QD and no unoccupied level is within tunnelling range of electrons originating from the source (green 1.). When an electron arrives at the QD (2.) in the non-blocking state it will fill the lowest available vacant energy level, which will raise the energy barrier of the QD ...

  7. Energy level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_level

    If it is at a higher energy level, it is said to be excited, or any electrons that have higher energy than the ground state are excited. Such a species can be excited to a higher energy level by absorbing a photon whose energy is equal to the energy difference between the levels. Conversely, an excited species can go to a lower energy level by ...

  8. Silicon quantum dot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_quantum_dot

    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 .

  9. Light-emitting diode physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode_physics

    A layer of quantum dots is sandwiched between layers of electron-transporting and hole-transporting materials. An applied electric field causes electrons and holes to move into the quantum dot layer and recombine forming an exciton that excites a QD. This scheme is commonly studied for quantum dot display. The tunability of emission wavelengths ...
