Quantum Dot Energy Transfer - The Chemistry of Blinking

Grant number: DP130102134 | Funding period: 2013 - 2016

Completed

Abstract

A major goal for nanotechnology is the creation of tunable lasers, light-emitting diodes and economic solar cells. It is also necessary to use simpler fabrication methods than currently available. This project will help scientists improve the materials and processes needed to meet this challenge.
