Quantum Dot Molecules

Zhiming M. Wang , Jiang Wu

A quantum dot molecule (QDM) is composed of two or more closely spaced quantum dots or “artificial atoms.” In recent years, QDMs have received much attention as an emerging new artificial quantum system. The interesting and unique coupling and energy transfer processes...

Quantum Dot Solar Cells

Zhiming M. Wang , Jiang Wu

The third generation of solar cells includes those based on semiconductor quantum dots. This sophisticated technology applies nanotechnology and quantum mechanics theory to enhance the performance of ordinary solar cells. Although a practical application of quantum dot...

Quantum Dot Devices
