The results suggest that efficient fine‐tuning of light﹊nduced quantum behavior mediated via effects like spin﹐rbit coupling can be effectively achieved by systematically varying averaged local environments in glassy amorphous materials as opposed to tailoring wellヾefined neighboring atomic lattice ...
Nanocrystalline particulate films, which exhibit pronounced quantum size effects in three dimensions, are of great interest due to applications in solar cell (108–112) and sensor (57, 113–115) applications. They exhibit novel properties due to not only the SQE manifested by individual nanoparticles...
Quantum confinement effects are pronounced in the channel of MOSFETs because of the very high electric fields and, consequently, can induce band-bending strong enough that electrons become confined to a narrow potential well close to the semiconductor surface and their energy is then quantized in the...
In the context of quantum technologies, the generation and manipulation of single photons has become a key element for applications such as quantum communication and quantum computing, as well as quantum metrology, biology and experiments probing the foundations of quantum physics discussed in an accomp...

"We propose to establish a complete set of nano-FTIR and scattering-type s-SNOM in order to stay competitive in nanophotonics research as well as to maintain our state-of-the-art design and fabrication of novel nanomaterials. Only because of the unique technology from neaspec we were able to...
In recent years, when compared to bulk materials, nanomaterials (NMs) with specific antibacterial activities have played a novel role in treating bacterial infections. Among NMs, quantum dots (QDs), specifically carbon containing QDs including graphene oxide QD (GOQD), graphene QD (GQD), and ...
"The neaSNOM microscope boosted my research in plasmonic properties of noble metal nanocrystals, optical resonances of dielectric nanostructures, and plasmon polaritons of graphene-like two dimensional nanomaterials." Prof. Rainer HillenbrandResearch Center Co-Founder and Scientific Advisor "After many years...
In 2023, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Bawendi, Brus, and Ekimov, three scientists who have made great contributions to the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots (QDs), heralding a new era for these nanomaterials. The inception of QDs dates back more than 40 years, during ...
These effects are expected to be amplified at the nanoscale, as the ls-coupling becomes much dominant at the surface than in bulk. Therefore the essential point is to properly describe light-matter interaction including the ls-coupling amplified at the nanoscale. In particular, self-consistency ...
