  2. 1. Green Chemical Synthesis of II-VI Semiconductor Quantum Dots

    Author : Robina Shahid; Mamoun Muhammed; Gunnar Westin; KTH; []
    Keywords : Semiconductor; Quantum Dots; Microwave; Ionic Liquids; Green Chemical Syntheis; Quantum Confinement; Optical Properties;

    Abstract : Nanotechnology is the science and technology of manipulating materials at atomic and molecular scale with properties different from bulk. Semiconductor QDs are important class of nanomaterials with unique physical and chemical properties owing to the quantum confinement effect. READ MORE

  4. 2. Synthesis and properties of single luminescent silicon quantum dots

    Author : Ilya Sychugov; Jan Linnros; Tom Griegorkiewich; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik;

    Abstract : Silicon is an ubiquitous electronic material and the discovery of strong room temperature luminescence from porous Si in 1990 raised hopes it may find a new lease of life in the emerging field of optoelectronics. First, the luminescence was shown to be emitted from nanostructures remained in a porous Si network. READ MORE

  5. 3. Quantum Dot Solar Cells: Towards Environmentally Friendly Materials

    Author : Viktor A. Öberg; Erik Johansson; Muhammet S. Toprak; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum dots; Nano-crystals; Energy conversion; Solar cells; Quantum dot solar cells; Low toxicity; Silver Sulfide; Silver Bismuth Sulfide; Lead Sulfide; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

    Abstract : To decrease the world’s energy dependence on fossil fuels, energy production and specifically electricity production needs to shift to more sustainable alternatives. One such alternative is solar cells as they directly convert energy emitted from the sun into electricity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Luminescent Silicon Nanocrystals: From Single Quantum Dot to Light-harvesting Devices

    Author : Jingjian Zhou; Ilya Sychugov; Jan Linnros; Peter Schall; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; silicon quantum dots; photoluminescence; quantum yield; internal quantum efficiency; luminescent solar concentrator; Optics and Photonics; Optik och fotonik;

    Abstract :       Silicon (Si) serves as the basic material of the system-on-a-chip industry and photovoltaic panels nowadays. This is mostly thanks to its high abundance in the earth’s crust, thereby low cost, virtually non-toxicity, and superior stability. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nanostructured ZnO and metal chalcogenide films for solar photocatalysis
