Ligand-Mediated Control of the Confinement Potential in Semiconductor Quantum Dots

<p> This thesis describes the mechanisms by which organic surfactants, particularly thiophenols and phenyldithiocarbamates, reduce the confinement potential experienced by the exciton of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The reduction of the confinement potential is enabled by the creation of...
