It has been shown that graphene exhibits unique electronic, thermal, mechanical, and optical properties. In particular, due to its gapless band structure and linear dispersion relation around the Dirac points, graphene exhibits a strong nonlinear optical response, which has been theoretically predicted to depend on th…

We report on the quantum dot (QD) size, temperature, and inter-dot coupling dependence on the optical absorption and emission for PbS QD thin films. Inter-dot coupling is induced by ligand exchange from oleic acid to 1,2-ethanedithiol, and the expected band gap red-shift observed for coupled QD thin films is accompani…
