QUANTUM PHENOMENA IN ZERO DIMENSIONS: QUANTUM DOTS

Abstract

Quantum phenomena in zero dimensions: quantum dots because of many interesting and important applications currently in use by this nanotechnology. The use fulness and application of quantum dots technologically continues to expand and research is striving to bring their benefits to more and more technologically applied fields. SMALLER...smaller...smaller-In the semiconductor industry, this mantra translates to faster...... faster.....faster. The question is, how small can we go? At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the answer may be: as small as quantum dots. Quantum dot has some attractive advantages: long-term photostability, higher fluorescent outcome, narrower fluorescence emission, sensitivity to the electric and magnetic fi
