Heavily doped semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots.
Doping of semiconductors by impurity atoms enabled their widespread technological application in microelectronics and optoelectronics. However, doping has proven elusive for strongly confined colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals because of the synthetic challenge of how to introduce single impurities, as well as a lack of fundamental understanding of this heavily doped limit under strong quantu...
متن کاملDoping Semiconductor Nanocrystals: Theory and Experiment
Doping—the intentional introduction of impurities into a material—is fundamental to controlling the properties of bulk semiconductors. The prospect of new technologies has motivated similar efforts to dope semiconductor nanocrystals since their discovery two decades ago. Despite some successes [1–5], many of these efforts have failed, for reasons that remain mysterious. For example, individual ...
متن کاملElectronic Impurity Doping of Colloidal Semiconductor Nanocrystals
Doping is extremely important for controlling the electronic conductivity of bulk semiconductors. However, very few examples exist where impurities that have been incorporated into colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals affect their electronic properties. Here we will discuss the challenges in this area as well as recent progress. In particular, we will describe an approach to lightly dope semico...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Photocatalysis Mediated by Colloidal II-VI Nanocrystals
The use of photoexcited electrons and holes in semiconductor nanocrystals as reduction and oxidation reagents is an intriguing way of harvesting photon energy to drive chemical reactions. This review focuses on recent research efforts to understand and control the photocatalytic processes mediated by colloidal II-VI nanocrystalline materials, such as cadmium and zinc chalcogenides. First, we hi...
متن کاملModeling of retention characteristics for metal and semiconductor nanocrystal memories
The charge retention characteristics of metal nanocrystal (MNC) and semiconductor nanocrystal (SNC) memory devices are comparatively studied in this paper. A charge retention model is proposed, taking into account the quantum confinement effect, to account for the better retention characteristics of metal nanocrystal memory observed in the experiment. Simulation results are in good agreement wi...
