Quantum confinement is a physical effect that occurs when the size of a material—usually a semiconductor or conductor—is reduced to the nanoscale thereby restricting the movement of electrons or holes ...
Nanometer-sized (2–10 nm) semiconducting crystalline materials known as quantum dots (QDs) display size-dependent optoelectronic properties. For example, the wavelength of their photoluminescence (PL) ...
A single silver atom added to a high-nuclear nanocluster structure boosts photoluminescence quantum yield by 77 times. This atomic-level tweak, enabled by smart ligand design, enhances radiative decay ...
Researchers achieve quantum confinement without shrinking materials by engineering a COF with confined excitons, enabling strong photoluminescence and nerve agent detection. (Nanowerk News) Quantum ...
