Semiconductor Quantum Dots: Organometallic and Inorganic Synthesis

by Mark Green

Quantum dots are nano-sized particles of semiconducting material, typically chalcogenides or phosphides of metals found across groups II to VI of the periodic table. Their small size causes them to exhibit unique optical and electrical properties which are now finding applications in electronics, optics and in the biological sciences.

Synthesis of these materials began in the late 1980's and this book gives a thorough background to the topic,...
