Nonthermal plasmas have emerged as a viable synthesis technique for nanocrystal
materials. Inherently solvent and ligand-free, nonthermal plasmas offer the ability to …

Silicon has long been established as the material of choice for the microelectronics industry.
This is not yet true in photonics, where the limited degrees of freedom in material design …

Femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and microscopy were employed to study
exciton dynamics in suspended and Si3N4 substrate-supported monolayer and few-layer …

Low-dimensional metal halide perovskites possessing a large exciton binding energy have
shown great promise in achieving efficient photonic emission required in the fields of lighting …

This book contains 35 review articles on nanoscience and nanotechnology that were first
published in Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Materials and a number of other Nature …

We report a chemical route to colloidal silicon (Si) nanocrystals, or quantum dots, with widely
tunable average diameter, from less than 3 nm up to 90 nm and peak photoluminescence …

Photoluminescent nanosized allotropes of carbon have attracted considerable interest
because of their diverse optical properties depending on their crystal structure, size, and …

We present a simple molecular approach to control the lipophilic/hydrophilic nature of
photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs) based on pyrolysis of alkyl gallate precursors …

We report the first experimental observation of a striking convergence of Auger
recombination rates in nanocrystals of both direct-(InAs, PbSe, CdSe) and indirect-gap (Ge) …

Silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) hold great promise for many future technologies. Silicon is
already at the core of photovoltaics and microelectronics, and SiQDs are capable of efficient …
