This review summarizes recent progress in the design and applications of cadmium-free
quantum dots (Cd-free QDs), with an emphasis on their role in biophotonics and …

High-power single-frequency fiber lasers with exceptional properties, such as mode-hop-
free and narrower linewidths, lower noise, and compact all-fiber designs, have been …

Transparent glass ceramics (TGCs) with minimized scattering loss offer the combined
characteristics of both glasses and (transparent) ceramics. The functionalities of the …

The present review article covers the history, featured properties and modern state of
inorganic, physical and materials chemistry of transparent oxyfluoride glass ceramics. The …

The synthesis of nanocrystalline PbS quantum dots using organometallic precursors is
reported. The samples exhibit tunable, strong near‐infrared photoluminescence. A …

We make a step towards quantum nanoplasmonics: surface plasmon fields of a nanosystem
are quantized and their stimulated emission is considered. We introduce a quantum …

Nanocrystals or quantum dots of the IV− VI semiconductors PbS, PbSe, and PbTe provide
unique properties for investigating the effects of strong confinement on electrons and …

Discussing specific depositions of a wide range of semiconductors and properties of the
resulting films, Chemical Solution Deposition of Semiconductor Films examines the …

PbSe nanocrystal colloids exhibit a well-defined excitonic structure with the lowest energy
exciton tuning from 0.5 to 1 eV, as a function of size. Band-edge fluorescence is observed …

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was combined with UV–vis− NIR
spectrophotometry and transmission electron microscopy to determine the nanocrystal …
