This review summarizes traditional and recent nonconventional, bioinspired, methods for the
aqueous synthesis of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The basic chemistry …

Nanoparticle research is still a rapidly growing field of science. Semiconductor nanocrystals
of a large variety of compositions have been prepared in exceedingly good quality. State-of …

Nanostructured semiconductors have the unique shape/size-dependent band gap tunability,
which has various applications. The quantum confinement effect allows controlling the …

We derive a nonsymmetrized eight-band effective-mass Hamiltonian for quantum dot
heterostructures (QDH's) in Burt's envelope-function representation. The 8× 8 radial …

We present a theoretical investigation of electron-hole and exciton energy spectra as well as
oscillator strengths of optical transitions in colloidal CdS quantum dots (QD's) with spherical …

An effective mass approximation (EMA) with finite-depth square-well potential is used to
investigate the size-dependent band gap (BG) of PbS and CuBr nanoparticles embedded in …

▪ Abstract The review describes the studies of the magneto-optical properties of II-VI and III-V
semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) capped with organic or inorganic epitaxial shells. The …

We report exact numerically calculated ground state and binding energies of a hydrogenic
donor impurity confined everywhere inside a spherical quantum dot (QD) surrounded by air …

Photoinduced charge transfer dynamics in type-II CdSe/CdTe donor− acceptor nanorods
were studied in real-time using femtosecond broadband pump− probe spectroscopy …

We report on the first chemically prepared multilayer quantum well structure in a
semiconductor quantum dot. By subsequent precipitation of HgS, CdS, HgS, and again CdS …
