A Brief Review on Core/shell Quantum Dots
John A. Stride, Fatemeh Mirnajafizadeh
Abstract
Core/shell QDs are a special class of nanoparticles with unique optical properties such as narrow emission, wide absorption and photostability as found in quantum dots, but the specific structure of core/ shell QDs promotes their optical properties over simple QDs. This paper details structure, synthesis, properties, classifications and applications of core/shell QDs.
