This review summarizes traditional and recent nonconventional, bioinspired, methods for the
aqueous synthesis of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The basic chemistry …

Semiconducting quantum dots, whose particle sizes are in the nanometer range, have very
unusual properties. The quantum dots have band gaps that depend in a complicated fashion …

Impurity doping has been widely used to endow semiconductor nanocrystals with novel
optical, electronic, and magnetic functionalities. Here, we introduce a new family of doped …

CsPbX3 (X= Cl, Br, I) perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are potential emitting materials for
illumination and display applications, but toxic Pb is not environment-and user-friendly. In …

Doping of semiconductors by impurity atoms enabled their widespread technological
application in microelectronics and optoelectronics. However, doping has proven elusive for …

The critical role that dopants play in semiconductor devices has stimulated research on the
properties and the potential applications of semiconductor nanocrystals, or colloidal …

Doping—the intentional introduction of impurities into a material—is fundamental to
controlling the properties of bulk semiconductors. This has stimulated similar efforts to dope …

We dope CdSe nanocrystals with Ag impurities and investigate their optical and electrical
properties. Doping leads not only to dramatic changes but surprising complexity. The …

Doping of nanocrystals is an important and very difficult task.“Self-purification” mechanisms
are often claimed to make this task even more difficult, as the distance a defect or impurity …

Luminescent lanthanide coordination polymers composed of lanthanide ions and organic
joint ligands exhibit characteristic photophysical and thermostable properties that are …
