Carrier multiplication (CM) is the process in which absorption of a single photon produces multiple electron-hole pairs. Here, we evaluate the effect of particle shape on CM efficiency by conducting a comparative study of spherical nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) and elongated nanorods (NRs) of PbSe using a time-resol…

On integrating one-dimensional (1D) nanocrystals (nanowires) to useful devices, in this review article, we provide a background on vapor-based growth processes and how they impact device integration strategies. Successful integration of nanowires to devices and their scalability simply rely on where and how nanowires…

The internal reduction of Ni 2+ ions dissolved in 10 YSZ (10 percent by mole Y 2 O 3 ‐ stabilized ZrO 2 ) was studied using magnetometry. Chemical methods were used to produce specimens with varying amounts of NiO (0.01–11.8% by mol), below and above the solubility limit of NiO in 10 YSZ . The solubility limit was det…
