Synthesis and characterization of colloidal lead chalcogenide quantum dots and progress towards single photons on-demand
Nanometer-sized semiconductor crystals, termed ‘quantum dots’, are of fundamental interest because of their size-tunable properties. Three-dimensional quantum confinement of charge carriers by the small crystal size results in discrete atomic-like electronic states. This dissertation describes the s...
