Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: William Tisdale
Hybrid Semiconductor Nanomaterials Location: 305 Shillman Hall Abstract: Hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductor nanomaterials – including colloidal quantum dots (QDs), 2D halide perovskites, and metal-organic chalcogenolates (MOCs) – are excitonic materials with applications ranging from solar cells to light-emitting devices to quantum computing and quantum cryptography. In these emerging materials, the combination of quantum and dielectric confinement, strong exciton-phonon coupling, and dimensionality reduction offer unprecedented opportunities for controlling light-matter-charge interactions through chemistry. In this talk, I will describe recent work from my…
