What's Inside A Quantum Dot?
What happens when we shrink an object down until it’s way smaller than a ball bearing, tinier than a louse, smaller than bacteria, even a virus, small enough that it takes a modern supercharged transmission electron microscope just to see the thing.
A quantum dot is an isolated island of material in a sea of nothing. They can be made from any chemical or material. It’s not the chemistry that’s driving the properties of quantum dots. That’s only part of it. For materials like this, it’s mostly their near infinitesimal size and shape.
QDs, for this reason, behave not so much like the material they’re built from but more like the individuals they are and it depends on the environment in which they’re surrounded.
Vanadium features video explorations of the many fascinations of materials scientist, Christopher Rankin PhD.
