Colloidal quantum dots, also known as artificial atoms, are excellent semiconductor platform materials for exploring electronic transitions due to their wavelength tunability and transition selectivity. While extensive investigations have elucidated the tunability of interband transitions via quantum confinement, the exploration of intraband transitions remains comparatively nascent. Intriguingly, intraband transitions enable access to the transition energy smaller than the bulk bandgap energy inaccessible via conventional interband transitions. In this talk, I will present a systematic investigation of steady-state intraband transitions in various self-doped CQD systems. Parameters involved in the self-doping, such as surface dipoles, compositional non-stoichiometry, and electronic states, will be discussed. In addition, efforts to substitute traditionally toxic elements with environmentally benign alternatives will also be discussed, with the aim of developing low-toxicity CQDs that retain optical properties. The self-doped quantum dot can provide an understanding of the unexplored quantum-plasmon resonances where both characters of semiconductor nanocrystals and metal nanocrystals are co-present. This study highlights the fundamental understanding and materials design principles needed to harness this regime for future optoelectronic and infrared photonic applications.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
