Quantum Dots
9/12/2008
“A quantum dot is a semiconductor whose excitons are confined in all three
spatial dimensions. As a result, they have properties that are between those of
bulk semiconductors and those of discrete molecules.“

Notes
“Researchers have studied quantum dots in transistors, solar cells, LEDs,
and diode lasers. They have also investigated quantum dots as agents for
medical imaging and hope to use them as qubits. Some quantum dots are
commercially available.”

“An exciton
is a bound state of an electron and an imaginary
particle called an electron hole in an insulator or semiconductor, and such is a
Coulomb-correlated electron-hole pair. It is an elementary excitation, or
a quasiparticle of a solid. In current research, the bound electron and hole
pairs (excitons) provide a means to transport energy without transporting net
charge”
