This book provides some collections of practical applications of quantum dots. The book is divided into four sections. This is a collaborative book sharing and providing the academic community with a base text that could serve as a reference in research by presenting up-to-date research work on the field of quantum dot systems.
In section 1 a review of the thermo-optical characterization of CdSe/ZnS core-shell nanocrystal solutions was performed. The Thermal Lens (TL) technique was used, and the thermal self-phase Modulation (TSPM) technique was adopted as the simplest alternative method. .
Section 2 includes five chapters where novel optical and lasing application are discussed. .
In section 3 four examples of quantum dot system for different applications in electronics are given.
Section 4 provides three examples of using quantum dot system for biological applications.Contents.
