In this work, we characterized streptavidin-conjugated quantum dots (QDs) manufactured by
Quantum Dot Corporation. We present data on:(1) two-photon excitation;(2) fluorescence …

It is a generally accepted perspective that type-II nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) have low
quantum yield due to the separation of the electron and hole wavefunctions. Recently, high …

Self-assembled quantum dots are often modeled by continuum models (effective mass or k∙
p) that assume the symmetry of the dot to be that of its overall geometric shape. Lens …

The transformations of colloidal semiconductor magic‐size clusters (MSCs) are expected to
occur with only discrete, step‐wise redshifts in optical absorption. Here, we challenge this …

Electronic and structural properties of small hydrogenated silicon nanoclusters as a function
of dimension are calculated from ab initio technique. The effects induced by the creation of …

Electronic and optical properties of silicon nanocrystals are calculated and discussed within
a semiempirical tight-binding approach, which allows to study systems composed of …

Lack of low-cost, stable, and effective catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is
one of the key factors limiting the practical application of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this …

In the present work, optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes of a GaAs
spherical quantum dot are investigated within the framework of the Coulomb plus linear …

In the current article, the binding energy and impurity-related photoionization cross-section
are investigated for the case of an infinite confinement potential well model using a …

Here we investigate the optical properties of a spherical quantum dot using the screened
Kratzer potential. The density matrix formalism is employed to study refractive index …
