Quantum dots are tiny particles or nanocrystals of a semiconducting material with diameters in the range of 2-10 nanometers (10-50 atoms). They were first discovered in 1980. They display unique electronic properties, intermediate between those of bulk semiconductors and discrete molecules, that ...
Thermoelectric materials comprise a wide range of solid compounds distinguished by their ability to convert thermal and electrical energy. This property gives rise to two distinct technological applications: the development of temperature gradients for heating and cooling devices and the ...
