Abstract:

<p> We present a versatile biosensing strategy that uses nucleic acids programmed to undergo an isothermal toehold mediated strand displacement in the presence of analyte. This rearrangement results in a double biotinylated duplex formation that induces the rapid aggregation of streptavidin decorated quantum dots (QDs). As biosensor reporters, QDs are advantageous to organic fluorophores and fluorescent proteins due to their enhanced spectral and fluorescence properties. Moreover, the nanoscale regime aids in an enhanced surface area that increase the number of binding of macromolecules, thus

Abstract:

<p> Given a rapidly developing world, the need exists for inexpensive renewable energy alternatives to help avoid drastic climate change. Photovoltaics have the potential to fill the energy needs of the future, but significant cost decreases are necessary for widespread adoption.

When deposited as a film, quantum dots form unique nanocomposites whose electronic and optical properties can be broadly tuned through manipulation of their

An interpolation method is introduced to connect electrodynamic simulation results, generally carried out at fixed orientations, with experimental optical spectra, such as those of randomly oriented ensembles.

Abstract:

Photovoltaic (PV) devices based on PbS quantum dot (QD) solids demonstrate high photon-to-electron conversion yields. However, record power conversion efficiencies remain limited mainly due to bulk and interfacial defects in the light absorbing material (QD solids). Interfacial defects can be formed when a semiconductor, such as QD solid, is contacted by another material and may predetermine the semiconductor/metal or semiconductor/metal-oxide junction properties. The objective of the work described in this dissertation was set to explore whether electrochemical contacting using liquid electro

In this thesis, we investigate the emergence of kinetic processes in finite quantum systems. We first generalize the Redfield theory to describe the dynamics of a small quantum system weakly interacting with an environment of finite heat capacity. We then study in detail the spin-GORM model, a model made of a two-level system interacting with a random matrix environment. By doing this, we verify our new theory and find a critical size of the environment over which kinetic processes occur. We finally study the emergence of a diffusive transport process, on a finite tight-binding subsystem inter

Quantum mechanics, arguably one of the greatest achievements of modern physics, has not only fundamentally changed our understanding of nature but is also taking an ever increasing role in engineering.

Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals that have tunable emission through changes in their size.

When bismuth is reduced to the nanoscale two interesting phenomena may occur: it may transition from a semimetal to a semiconductor, or charge carriers in special surface states may begin to dominate the behavior of the material. Arrays of bismuth nanowires of various diameters were studied to investigate these possibilities. The magnetoresistance of the arrays was measured and the period of Shubnikov-de Ha

The low-energy properties of quantum dot systems are dominated by the Kondo effect. We study the dependence of the characteristic energy scale of the effect, the Kondo temperature, on the gate voltage, which controls the number of electrons in the strongly blockaded dot. We show that in order to obtain the correct Kondo temperature as a function of the gate voltage, it is crucial to take into account the presence of many energy levels in the dot. The dependence turns out to be very different from that in the conventional single-level Anderson impurity model. Unlike in the latter, the Kondo tem

We demonstrate tunable tunnel coupling of the double dot and quantify the strength of the tunneling using the charge sensor. The second set of experiments concerns carbon nanotube doub

Research to increase the efficiency of conventional solar cells is constantly underway. The goal of this work is to increase the efficiency of conventional solar cells by incorporating quantum dot (QD) nanoparticles in the absorption mechanism. The strategy is to have the QDs absorb UV and fluoresce photons in the visible region that are more readily absorbed by the cells. The outcome is that the cells have more visible photons to absorb and have increased power output. The QDs, having a CdSe core and a ZnS shell, were applied to the solar cells as follows.

Quantum dots are semiconductive particles whose properties are highly influenced by the presence of at least one electron. Cadmium selenide quantum dots were synthesized via colloidal synthesis.

A series of colored solutions were obtained because the excited quantum dots of various sizes emitted specific wavelengths of light. The emission spectra showed that the temperature-dependent quantum dots were successfully synthesized. The quantum dots were also immobilized

Abstract:

Experimental investigations of the optical properties of GaN nanostructured light emitting diode (LED) arrays are presented. Microphotoluminescence spectroscopy with pulsed and continuous wave lasers was used to probe the carrier dynamics and emission mechanisms of nanorod LED arrays fabricated by a top down etching method. Results show a possible reduction in internal electric field as nanorod diameter decreases. Localisation effects were also observed, affecting the spectral shape of the nanorod emission. Under two-photon excitation, quantum dot-like sharp spectral peaks in the PL spectra ar
