چکیده

Control of the fundamental absorption edge of a quantum dot with an applied electric field has been limited by the breakdown fields of the solid-state material surrounding the dot. However, much larger fields can be applied at the interface of two immiscible electrolytic solutions (ITIES) in an electrochemical cell. These electric fields also localize the quantum dots at the ITIES. Our analysis shows that semiconductor nanocrystals localized at the ITIES should have electric-field-tunable optical properties across much of the visible spectrum. The transparency of the liquids in such cells indicates that this configuration would be well suited for electrically tunable optical filters with wide-angle acceptance.

Wavelength and polarization variations of InAs/GaAs quantum dots emission at liquid Helium temperature via microphotoluminescence spectroscopy

In this paper, we investigate variation of the wavelength, intensity and polarization of the self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots emission by microphotoluminescence spectroscopy at the liquid helium temperature. The microcavity wafer sample is grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and chemically etched into the micropillar structure (with elliptical cross section - long and short axis 2µm×1.5µ...

A Sensitive Sensor for Nano-Molar Detection of 5-Fluorouracil by Modifying a Paste Sensor with Graphene Quantum Dots and an Ionic Liquid

5-fluorouracil is a widely used anticancer drug with many side effects on humans, and hence its analysis in biological samples is very important. Accordingly, a novel sensitive electrochemical approach was fabricated by incorporating graphene quantum dots (GCD) and 1-butylpyridinium bromide (BPBr) in the formulation of a carbon paste electrode (GQD/BPBr/CPE). The GQD was synthesized and charact...
