Electronic states of elongated PbSe/PbS Core/shell quantum dots (2014)
Journal Article
Walsh, T., Miloszewski, J., Aeberhard, U., & Tomic, S. (2014). Electronic states of elongated PbSe/PbS Core/shell quantum dots. Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 526, 012010. https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/526/1/012010

The optical characteristics of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are highly dependent on the physical geometry of the QD (size, shape) as well as composition. These dependencies make such systems attractive for application in novel optical devices, notabl... Read More about Electronic states of elongated PbSe/PbS Core/shell quantum dots.
