The shape and size of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been demonstrated to play a major role in the optoelectronic characteristics of these materials, for example by confining the exciton in various forms and tuning systematically the bandgap energy. [1]
On the one hand, there are spherical QDs (sQDs), which are the simplest and the most widely studied nanocrystals and, on the other hand, there are more complex structures, such as tetrapods (TPs), which may combine the spherical structure with the presence of elongated arms. [2] Specifically, TPs turned out to be an attractive nanostructure because they can benefit from the strengths of 0D and 1D nanostructures as well as avoid their limitations. Most TP studies conducted so far are based on II-VI semiconductors because of their accessible synthesis, [3] however, III-V InP TPs have also been recently prepared recently. [4]
Until now, the synthesis of InAs TPs has not been accomplished yet, however, understanding their electronic structure and features can be important, considering that the synthesis of InAs QDs is becoming more popular. In addition, InAs QDs present bandgap tunability in the near infrared (NIR), a range of energy particularly attractive to obtain near-infrared (NIR) Hg- and Pb-free detectors. [5]
In this work, we report how the length and thickness of the arms of a small InAs single-TP may affect the band gap energy in relation to an InAs sQD. Additionally, we will focus on the distribution of ground-state electron and hole charge densities in the nanostructure and how their overlap, which is linked to the optoelectronic efficiency, changes consequently.
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.
