Research on conducting and semiconducting solids has become one of the fashionable
subjects in the field of physics for the last four or five decades partly because of the …

We review some recent results in the spectroscopy of single CdSe nanocrystal quantum
dots. By eliminating the effects of inhomogeneous broadening and ensemble averaging …

The formation of extremely high aspect ratio CdSe nanorods (30: 1), as well as arrow-,
teardrop-, tetrapod-, and branched tetrapod-shaped nanocrystals of CdSe, has been …

The quantum-confined Stark effect in single cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanocrystallite
quantum dots was studied. The electric field dependence of the single-dot spectrum is …

Colloidal quantum rods of cadmium selenide (CdSe) exhibit linearly polarized emission.
Empirical pseudopotential calculations predict that slightly elongated CdSe nanocrystals …

We demonstrate electronic energy transfer between close packed quantum dots using cw
and time resolved photoluminescence. Optically clear and thin, close packed quantum dot …

Thin films are often grown away from thermodynamic equilibrium and their morphology
becomes determined by kinetics. The final structure of the epitaxial film is decided in the very …

We show spectroscopically that electronic energy transfer in close-packed CdSe quantum-
dot (QD) solids arises from dipole-dipole interdot interactions between proximal dots. We …

We have demonstrated efficient production of triggered single photons by coupling a single
semiconductor quantum dot to a three-dimensionally confined optical mode in a micropost …

Achiral diprotonated porphyrins, forming homoassociates in aqueous solution, lead to
spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking. The unexpected result is that the chirality sign of …
