In the last 30 years, inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals have been extensively researched because of their size-dependent optoelectronic properties, thus successfully debuting in the commercial sector. The synthetic development of nanocrystals, however, has perplexed from the complex energy landscape of the reaction. Unlike intermediates that can be isolated and characterized with atomic precision in organic synthesis, the intermediates in nanocrystal synthesis are difficult to resolve because of the co-existence of metastable states with similar energy. If one can control the energy of the metastable intermediates originating from various factors including shapes and surface-ligand interaction and isolate the singular intermediate species, the nanocrystal growth with atomic precision could be achievable.
In this presentation, I will discuss the tetrapod InP nanocrystals as a crystalline “late intermediate” that warrants controlled colloidal nanocrystal growth. The use of the late intermediate with well-defined facets at the sub-10 nm scale for directional growth with atomic control and highlight the potential for the new directed approach of nanocrystal synthesis. Well-defined surface of tetrapod enable us to investigate the facet-dependent surface chemistry of InP. Finally, a geometry-driven transition from single to multi-photon emitting behavior in InP tetrapods will be discussed.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
