Abstract

A variety of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots and related quantum-wire structures are characterized using absorption and photoluminescence measurements. The electronic properties of these structures are modeled and compared with experiment. The characterization and application of ensembles of colloidal quantum dots with molecular interconnects are considered. The chemically-directed assembly of ensembles of colloidal quantum dots with biomolecular interconnects is demonstrated with quantum dot densities in excess of 10 +17 cm -3. Non-charge transfer processes for switching based on dipole-dipole interactions - Forester interactions - are examined for colloidal quantum dots linked with biomolecules. Charge transport in biomolecules is studied using indirect-bandgap colloidal nanocrystals linked with biomolecules.
