Among all the functional materials, ZnO plays an outstanding role in terms of chemical and
physical properties, but also in terms of morphological variety and the number of reported …

An extension of the classic thermodynamics theory to nanometer scale has generated a new
interdisciplinary theory–nanothermodynamics. It serves as a bridge between macroscopic …

The size-and shape-dependent band gap energy of semiconductor compound
nanomaterials (SCNs) is formulated. The model theory is based on the cohesive energy of …

In the 1990s, nanoparticles and quantum dots began to be used in optical, electronic, and
biological applications. Now they are being studied for use in solid-state quantum …

Using extensive state-of-the-art experiments over a wide range of synthesis parameters,
such as the temperature and concentrations of different reactants, we establish qualitatively …

Based on a thermodynamic model for size-dependent melting temperature, the size-
dependent band-gap of low dimensional semiconductor compounds is modeled without any …

We report here the synthesis of water soluble Mn2+-doped CdS nanocrystals in which it has
been possible for the first time to obtain a distinct Mn2+ d-related emission well-separated …

Efficiency of the quantum dots based solar cells relies on charge transfer at the interface and
hence on the relative alignment of the energy levels between materials. Despite a high …
