  1. Special Properties of Nanomaterials High surface/bulk ratio • Catalysis • Nanoparticle reagents • Heat dissipation • Laminar flow Finite size effects • Quantum confinement • Interparticle tunneling • Proximity effects • High probability of defect- • free crystals

  2. Semiconductor Core-Shell Quantum Dots • Perfect quantum well structure leads to bright luminescence • Nanocrystal size determines band gap Emission spectra of several sizes of (CdSe)ZnS core-shell quantum dots M. Bawendi, et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 1999, 101, 9463.

  3. 2.1 - 4.6 nm CdSe/CdS core-shell particles Excitons confined to core Defect-free nanocrystals high fluorescence quantum yield Dual fluorescence labeling of actin filaments and fibroblasts A. P. Alivisatos et al., Science 1998, 281, 2013.

  4. Shape Control of Semiconductor Nanocrystals • Nanocrystal habit controlled • by surfactant composition • Multiple injection/growth cycles • develop specific crystal faces Cd Se L. Manna, E. C. Scher, A. P. Alivisatos, JACS122, 12700 (2000)

  5. CdSe Tetrapods L. Manna, E. C. Scher, A. P. Alivisatos, JACS122, 12700 (2000)

  6. Conducting Polymer - Nanocrystal Solar Cells Two-color system - can utilize solar spectrum efficiently High aspect ratio nanocrystals, organized superstructure should minimize carrier recombination W. U. Huynh, J. J. Dittme, A. P. Alivisatos, Science 295, 2425 (2002)
