In the past decade, semiconducting qubits have made great strides in overcoming
decoherence, improving the prospects for scalability and have become one of the leading …

Fluorescent quantum dots (QDs), defined by a diameter size of< 10 nm, have been the core
concept of nanoscience and nanotechnology since their inception. QDs possess many …

Crystal structure imperfections in solids often act as efficient carrier trapping centres, which,
when suitably isolated, act as sources of single photon emission. The best known examples …

Fluorescent nanodots have become increasingly prevalent in a wide variety of applications
with special interest in analytical and biomedical fields. The present overview focuses on …

Copper nanoparticles with different structural properties and effective biological effects may
be fabricated using new green protocols. The control over particle size and in turn size …

Molecules of benzene-1, 4-dithiol were self-assembled onto the two facing gold electrodes
of a mechanically controllable break junction to form a statically stable gold-sulfur-aryl-sulfur …

A linear-response theory is developed for resonant tunneling through a quantum dot of small
capacitance, in the regime of thermally broadened resonances. The theory extends the …

Progress in semiconductor technology has enabled the fabrication of structures so small that
they can contain just one mobile electron. By varying controllably the number of electrons in …

The properties of quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots are reviewed.
Experimental techniques for measuring the electronic shell structure and the effect of …

Nano-is a big prefix-word. Much of contemporary chemistry focuses on small scale
structures, and indeed, molecular science is intrinsically on the nanometer scale. Selecting …
