Concentration and size dependence of peak wavelength shift on quantum dots in colloidal suspension

Journal article studying how peak wavelength shift of quantum dots in colloidal suspension depends on concentration and particle size. Publisher listed as SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng and published 2016-08-19.

a Schematic of band structures of metals, semiconductors, quantum dots (QD) and single molecules, showing the increase in band gap (Eg) as confinement is increased. At the single molecule scale the energy bands become completely discrete, and the QD sits between this system and the band model of semiconductors. b Graphic illustrating the change in QD band gap and photoluminescence emission wavelength (colour) with increasing particle size
