The Department of Chemistry invites you to its departmental seminar today, Monday, March 23, at 4:10 p.m. in Fulmer Hall, room 438.
Dr. Dan Gamelin from the University of Washington will present, Synthesis and Spectroscopy of Doped Quantum Dots.
Abstract: The deliberate introduction of impurities is a primary method for controlling the physical properties of semiconductors and has been exploited extensively in information processing, energy conversion, and other semiconductor technologies. This talk will describe recent advances in the doping chemistries of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots, and some of the unusual quantum dot photophysical properties that can be achieved through such chemistries. Particular emphasis will be given to transition-metal impurity ions that introduce new photophysical or magneto-optical functionalities to the quantum dots. Basic aspects of doped semiconductor electronic structures will be discussed in this context.
