Journal Article
Kreps, D. (2014). The time of our lives : understanding irreversible complex user experiences. The future of identity in the information society : 4th IFIP WG 9.2, 9.6, 11.6, 11.7/Fidis International Summer School, Brno, Czech Republic, September 1-7, 2008, revised selected papers / Vashek Matyáš ... [et al.] (eds.), 431, 47-56. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-44208-1_5

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.
