TUTORIAL


Optics of Nanostructures


Sunday, November 25, 2007
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Room 201 (Hynes)

Quantum dots and other nanostructures have drawn considerable interest in recent years due to their unique properties and opportunities to develop novel optoelectronic devices. The tutorial will cover several topics related to optical properties and growth of nanostructures, such as quantum dots and wires. It will contain both experimental and theoretical components that include colloidal and self-assembled material systems. The tutorial will begin with colloidal nanocrystals that exhibit interesting photophysics. The unique optical properties of colloidal nanocrystals suggest potential light-emitting and photovoltaic applications. Quantum dots and nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy, and metal organic chemical vapor deposition, will be discussed. The optical studies of self-assembled quantum dots and the manipulation of quantum states via optical means will be a primary focus. The main intention of this tutorial is to give the audience an overview of recent developments in the field of optically active nanostructures.
