A physics book that covers the optical properties of quantum-confined semiconductor nanostructures from both the theoretical and experimental points of view together with technological applications. Topics to be reviewed include quantum confinement effects in semiconductors, optical adsorption and emission properties of group IV, III-V, II-VI semiconductors, deep-etched and self assembled quantum dots, nanoclusters, and laser applications in optoelectronics.

Examines the optical properties of low-dimensional semiconductor structures, a hot research area - for graduate students and researchers.

This is the first book to specifically focus on semiconductor nanocrystals, and address their synthesis and assembly, optical properties and spectroscopy, and potential areas of nanocrystal-based devices. The enormous potential of nanoscience to impact on industrial output is now clear. Over the next two decades, much of the science will transfer into new products and processes. One emerging area where this challenge will be very successfully met is the field of semiconductor nanocrystals. Also known as colloidal quantum dots, their unique properties have attracted much attention in the last twenty years.

Nanocrystals research has been an area of significant interest lately, due to the wide variety of potential applications in semiconductor, optical and biomedical fields. This book consists of a collection of research work on nanocrystals processing and characterization of their structural, optical, electronic, magnetic and mechanical properties. Various methods for nanocrystals synthesis are discussed in the book. Size-dependent properties such as quantum confinement, superparamagnetism have been observed in semiconductor and magnetic nanoparticles. Nanocrystals incorporated into different material systems have proven to possess improved properties. A review of the exciting outcomes nanoparticles study has provided indicates further accomplishments in the near future.

Semiconductor nanocrystals and metal nanoparticles are the building blocks of the next generation of electronic, optoelectronic, and photonic devices. Covering this rapidly developing and interdisciplinary field, the book examines in detail the physical properties and device applications of semiconductor nanocrystals and metal nanoparticles. It begins with a review of the synthesis and characterization of various semiconductor nanocrystals and metal nanoparticles and goes on to discuss in detail their optical, light emission, and electrical properties. It then illustrates some exciting applications of nanoelectronic devices (memristors and single-electron devices) and optoelectronic devices (UV detectors, quantum dot lasers, and solar cells), as well as other applications (gas sensors and metallic nanopastes for power electronics packaging). Focuses on a new class of materials that exhibit fascinating physical properties and have many exciting device applications. Presents an overview of synthesis strategies and characterization techniques for various semiconductor nanocrystal and metal nanoparticles. Examines in detail the optical/optoelectronic properties, light emission properties, and electrical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals and metal nanoparticles. Reviews applications in nanoelectronic devices, optoelectronic devices, and photonic devices.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Niet afgebeeld. 1896 edition. Uittreksel: ...van kai met een verbaal woord, bij de verleden deelwoorden met raa, den passieven vorm met ndai en het participium passivum praesens. behandeld in 62, de eenigste vormen, waarin zich in het Bim. eene bepaalde passieve constructie ontwikkeld heeft. Dit is zeer begrijpelijk, bij de actieve constructie toch is het alleen maar eene zaak van vorm of men zegt: ta-bonto-ku kai malanta of ta-bonto-kai-ku malanta (vgl. de vorige ), bij de passieve constructie daarentegen gaat daaraan tevens verschil in beteekenis gepaard. Beteekenen toch, bijv. de van het eenvoudige diki (binden) afgeleide vormen raa-diki en ndai diki, dat, wat gebonden is en dat, wat te binden is (dat, wat gebonden wordt), zoo hebben de van het uit diki en kai samengestelde werkwoord diki afgeleide vormen raa-diki kai en ndai diki kai eene beteekeuis, die wij moeten omschrijven mei, dat, waarmede is gebonden," en dat, waarmede te binden is (gebonden wordt)." Heeft het werkwoord oorspronkelijk intransitieve beteekeuis, dan wordt het door samenstelling met kai transitief, zoodat er dus ook bovengenoemde passieve vormen van afgeleid kunnen worden, bijv. van mat (komen) raa-mai kai en ndai mai kai, de beteekenis van welke vormen wij moeten omschrijven met dat, waarmede (men) gekomen is" en dat, waarmede men komen moet (dat, waarmede men komt)." Wat de beteekenis dezer vormen betreft, is nog op te merken, dat zij behalve het instrument, ook nog de oorzaak kunnen aanduiden, in welk geval wij ze op bovengenoemde wijze kunnen omschrijven door in plaats van waarmede," waardoor" of waarom" te bezigen. De samenhang dezer beteekenissen is bekend genoeg (zie ook Aanm. U. na 140), alleen zij nog...
