Quantum Dot Donor-Bridge-Acceptor Assemblies: Controlling Charge Transfer Pathways

Abstract

The goal of this research project is to learn to control quantum dot surface chemistry in order to selectively functionalize these nanomaterials. This research will prepare quantum dot donor-bridge-acceptor assemblies in which the electron transfer dynamics between dissimilar quantum dots can be investigated by time-resolved spectroscopy. This work will identify relationships between assembly structure and rates of charge transfer that will ultimately guide the rational design of next-generation functional materials assembled from quantum dot building blocks.
