Colloidal dot-, rod-, and tetrapod-shaped CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) are obtained by varying the precursor concentration and the ligands. Both the dot- and rod-shaped NCs are of zinc-blende phase, whereas the tetrapod-shaped NCs are a mixture of zinc-blende and wurtzite structures. It is proposed that the concentration o…

We investigate the hole trapping process of a neutral oxygen vacancy in amorphous silicon dioxide $(a\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{Si}{\mathrm{O}}_{2})$ using cluster calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) method. We show that trapping a hole at a neutral oxygen vacancy leads to the formation of seve…

We have demonstrated a guided-mode resonance filter (GMRF) whose properties are tunable with laser illumination through the incorporation of a nonlinear dye. Laser illumination causes a change in the refractive index of the dye-doped portion of the structure, leading to controlled tuning of the GMRF reflectance spectr…
