Conspectus Properties of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals with a single-crystalline
structure are largely dominated by their surface structure at an atomic-molecular level, which …

Solar cells and optoelectronic devices are exposed to heat that degrades performance.
Therefore, elucidating temperature-dependent charge carrier dynamics is essential for …

Low charge carrier separation and transfer efficiency continues to be the major obstacle to
harvest solar energy to split hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) as hydrogen source for H 2 production …

Surface traps are ubiquitous to nanoscopic semiconductor materials. Understanding their
atomistic origin and manipulating them chemically have capital importance to design defect …

We demonstrate that metal carboxylate complexes (L–M (O2CR) 2, R= oleyl, tetradecyl, M=
Cd, Pb) are readily displaced from carboxylate-terminated ME nanocrystals (ME= CdSe …

This work introduces the PYXAID program, developed for non-adiabatic molecular dynamics
simulations in condensed matter systems. By applying the classical path approximation to …

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) …

Energy levels in the band gap arising from surface states can dominate the optical and
electronic properties of semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs). Recent theoretical …

One of the greatest challenges in the field of semiconductor nanomaterials is to make trap-
