Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have been generating substantial interest due to their unique
properties, which include high quantum efficiency, high color purity, low-cost solution …

There are a variety of methods for synthesizing or fabricating one‐dimensional (1D)
nanostructures containing heterojunctions between different materials. Here we review …

The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CdSe-core CdS/CdZnS/ZnS-multishell quantum
dots (QDs) were studied to understand the radiative and nonradiative relaxation processes …

We report a general synthetic approach to tetrapod-shaped colloidal nanocrystals made of
various combinations of II− VI semiconductors. Uniform tetrapods were prepared using …

Inorganic nanoparticles are among the most investigated nano-objects nowadays, both in
fundamental science and in various technological applications. In this paper, we describe …

We report on the temperature and size dependence of the photoluminescence of core CdTe
colloidal quantum dots (QDs). We show that at temperatures lower than 170 K a thermally …

We investigated the transient bleaching and absorption of the asymmetric core/shell
CdSe/CdS nanorods using the pump− probe technique. We observed ultrafast carrier …

Colloidal semiconductor quantum rods have demonstrated many advantageous properties
as light emitters such as high quantum yield, tunable emission wavelength, and polarized …
