Quantum Dot | Vibepedia

Quantum dots (QDs) or semiconductor nanocrystals are tiny particles, exhibiting distinct optical and electronic properties due to quantum mechanical effects. They are a crucial area of research in nanotechnology and materials science, with applications in fields like optoelectronics. Quantum dots have a high surface-to-volume ratio, which makes them highly reactive and sensitive to their environment. Quantum dots can be made from a variety of materials, including cadmium selenide, lead sulfide, and silicon. Researchers are exploring new applications of quantum dots in various fields.
