Quantum Dot Heterostructures

Quantum dot heterostructures are advanced materials made by stacking or combining tiny semiconductor particles called quantum dots, which are only a few nanometers in size. These structures allow precise control over how they absorb and emit light, enabling applications in displays, solar cells, and lasers. By designing the layers and materials carefully, scientists can tune the electronic and optical properties for specific uses, making these heterostructures highly versatile and efficient in manipulating light and energy at a very small scale.
