From nano-optics to street lights
Source abstract
Abstract
Nanocrystal quantum dots are excellent emitters of light, but energizing that emission electrically has proved difficult. A newly discovered non-radiative energy-transfer process that allows electron–hole pairs to be generated in quantum wells, and then transferred into quantum dots, could lead to a new generation of ultra-high-efficiency light sources for use at scales ranging from nano-optics to a city block.
