Controlled Assembly of Quantum Dot Heterostructures
Abstract
The goal of this proposed research is to develop modular methods to construct well-defined quantum dot heterostructures which can be utilized to systematically study quantum dot-quantum dot electron transfer dynamics. The work will explore how the molecular linker structure, surface anchoring group identity, and the difference in donor and acceptor band energies affect the inter-particle electron transfer dynamics. These systematic studies will shed light on how efficient charge transport pathways can be promoted in quantum dot-based materials. Ultimately, the results of this work will influence the design of next-generation functional materials assembled from quantum dot building blocks.
