Quantum Dots

This video, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, provides an overview of quantum dots (QD) in nanotechnology. The video briefly introduces quantum dots as a concept followed by a discussion of quantum confinement and QD synthesis, including colloidal methods and epitaxial growth. Also discussed are are specific applications of QD in biology as light emitters along with other additional QD applications.

The video runs 23:49 minutes in length. Also included are presentation slides and an audio version.
