Production
Colloidal synthesis
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals are
synthesized from solutions, much like
traditional chemical processes. The main
difference is the product neither
precipitates as a bulk solid nor remains
dissolved.[5] Heating the solution at high
temperature, the precursors decompose
forming monomers which then nucleate
and generate nanocrystals. Temperature is
a critical factor in determining optimal
conditions for the nanocrystal growth. It
must be high enough to allow for
rearrangement and annealing of atoms
during the synthesis process while being
low enough to promote crystal growth.
The concentration of monomers is another
critical factor that has to be stringently
controlled during nanocrystal growth. The
growth process of nanocrystals can occur
in two different regimes, "focusing" and
"defocusing". At high monomer
concentrations, the critical size (the size
where nanocrystals neither grow nor
shrink) is relatively small, resulting in
growth of nearly all particles. In this
regime, smaller particles grow faster than
large ones (since larger crystals need
more atoms to grow than small crystals)
resulting in "focusing" of the size
distribution to yield nearly monodisperse
particles. The size focusing is optimal
when the monomer concentration is kept
such that the average nanocrystal size
present is always slightly larger than the
critical size. Over time, the monomer
concentration diminishes, the critical size
becomes larger than the average size
present, and the distribution "defocuses".
Plasma synthesis
Fabrication
Viral assembly
Electrochemical assembly
Highly ordered arrays of quantum dots
may also be self-assembled by
electrochemical techniques. A template is
created by causing an ionic reaction at an
electrolyte-metal interface which results in
the spontaneous assembly of
nanostructures, including quantum dots,
onto the metal which is then used as a
mask for mesa-etching these
nanostructures on a chosen substrate.
Bulk-manufacture
Optical properties
Fluorescence spectra of CdTe quantum dots of various
sizes. Different sized quantum dots emit different color
light due to quantum confinement.
Potential applications
Quantum dots are particularly promising
for optical applications due to their high
extinction coefficient.[45] They operate like
a single electron transistor and show the
Coulomb blockade effect. Quantum dots
have also been suggested as
implementations of qubits for quantum
information processing.
Computing
Quantum dot technology is potentially
relevant to solid-state quantum
computation. By applying small voltages
to the leads, current through the quantum
dot can be controlled and thereby precise
measurements of the spin and other
properties therein can be made. With
several entangled quantum dots, plus a
way of performing operations, quantum
calculations and the computers that would
perform them might be possible.
Biology
Photovoltaic devices
The tunable absorption spectrum and high
extinction coefficients of quantum dots
make them attractive for light harvesting
technologies such as photovoltaics.
Quantum dots may be able to increase the
efficiency and reduce the cost of today's
typical silicon photovoltaic cells.
According to an experimental proof from
2004,[68] quantum dots of lead selenide
can produce more than one exciton from
one high energy photon via the process of
carrier multiplication or multiple exciton
generation (MEG). This compares
favorably to today's photovoltaic cells
which can only manage one exciton per
high-energy photon, with high kinetic
energy carriers losing their energy as heat.
Quantum dot photovoltaics would
theoretically be cheaper to manufacture,
as they can be made "using simple
chemical reactions."
Photodetector devices
Photocatalysts
Quantum dots also function as
photocatalysts for the light driven
chemical conversion of water into
hydrogen as a pathway to solar fuel. In
photocatalysis, electron hole pairs formed
in the dot under band gap excitation drive
redox reactions in the surrounding liquid.
Generally, the photocatalytic activity of the
dots is related to the particle size and its
degree of quantum confinement.[80] This is
because the band gap determines the
chemical energy that is stored in the dot in
the excited state. An obstacle for the use
of quantum dots in photocatalysis is the
presence of surfactants on the surface of
the dots. These surfactants (or ligands)
interfere with the chemical reactivity of the
dots by slowing down mass transfer and
electron transfer processes. Also,
quantum dots made of metal
chalcogenides are chemically unstable
under oxidizing conditions and undergo
photo corrosion reactions.
Theory
Quantum dots are theoretically described
as a point like, or a zero dimensional (0D)
entity. Most of their properties depend on
the dimensions, shape and materials of
which QDs are made. Generally QDs
present different thermodynamic
properties from the bulk materials of
which they are made. One of these effects
is the Melting-point depression. Optical
properties of spherical metallic QDs are
well described by the Mie scattering
theory.

History
The term “quantum dot” was coined in
1986.[93] They were first discovered in a
glass matrix and in colloidal solutions[94]
by Alexey Ekimov[95][96][97][98] and Louis
Brus.[99][100]
