Inserting indium arsenide quantum dots into crystalline III-V semiconductor-based photovoltaics results in both enhanced short-circuit current and improved efficiency.
Novel materials exploit the favorable transfer of energy between metal nanoparticles and polymer molecules to sidestep problems that have been holding back all-optical-based technologies.
Distance-dependent coupling of plasmon resonances between closely spaced metal nanoparticles offers an attractive approach for imaging molecular interactions.
