The Postgraduates and Postdocs spilt into small groups and spent the day working on outreach projects that could be used in School's to help generate interest in different areas of research. At the end of the day there...
Quantum dots are fundamentally interesting due to their quantum confinement effects and they are also technologically important. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals typically <10 nm in diameter. Their small size has the effect of causing quantum confinement of the free 'holes’ and ‘electrons’ within the crystal -an ideal example of a ‘Particle in a box’....
