Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are emerging as promising materials for the next generation
infrared (IR) photodetectors, due to their easy solution processing, low cost manufacturing …

We report an alternative synthesis and the first optical characterization of colloidal PbTe
nanocrystals (NCs). We have synthesized spherical PbTe NCs having a size distribution as …

I? rst heard of k· p in a course on semiconductor physics taught by my thesis adviser William
Paul at Harvard in the fall of 1956. He presented the k· p Hamiltonian as a semiempirical …

The effect of quantum confinement in PbSe quantum wells and dots is studied using tight
binding calculations. Compared to zinc-blende semiconductors, unusual physical properties …

In this work we investigate the role of quantum confinement in group III–V semiconductor
thin films (2D nanostructures). To this end we have studied the electronic structure of nine …

PbSe is a pseudo-II-VI material distinguished from ordinary II-VI's (eg, CdSe, ZnSe) by
having both its valence band maximum (VBM) and its conduction band minimum (CBM) …

A theory of the electronic-structure and excitonic absorption spectra of PbS and PbSe
nanowires and nanorods in the framework of a four-band effective-mass model is presented …

An investigation of the finite depth square well model is presented in this article: model
features and limitations, concerning size dependent band gap of semiconductor quantum …

We synthesized different sizes of PbS/CdS core− shell quantum dots (CSQDs) by using a
cation-exchange method and studied the changes in their absorption and luminescence …

We study the structure of electronic states in individual PbS nanocrystal quantum dots by
scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) using one-to-two monolayer nanocrystal films …
