The subject of this review is the colloidal quantum dot (QD) and specifically the interaction of
the QD with proximate molecules. It covers various functions of these molecules, including (i) …

Transfer of energy occurs endlessly in our universe by means of radiation. Compared to
energy transfer (ET) in free space, in solid state materials the transfer of energy occurs in a …

Recently, there has been much interest in the extraction of hot electrons generated from
surface plasmon decay, as this process can be used to achieve additional bandwidth for …

We report efficient nonradiative energy transfer (NRET) from core–shell, semiconducting
quantum dots to adjacent two-dimensional sheets of graphene and MoS2 of single-and few …

Strongly bound excitons confined in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are dipoles with
a perfect in-plane orientation. In a vertical stack of semiconducting 2D crystals, such in-plane …

The incapability of modulating the photoresponse of assembled heterostructure devices has
remained a challenge for the development of optoelectronics with multifunctionality. Here, a …

Fundamental understanding of charge behavior inside heterostructures is of vital importance
for advancing high‐performance optoelectronic applications. However, the charge behavior …

Abstract 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) with energy bandgaps covering the
visible and near infrared spectral region have enormous advantages in various photonic …

Tunable metasurfaces open new doors for achieving dynamic wavefront manipulation in an
ultracompact footprint. Dielectric metasurfaces are particularly attractive for this application …

Fluorescent sensors benefit from high signal-to-noise and multiple measurement modalities,
