Quantum effects arise when particles shrink. As the size of a material is reduced to the nanoscale, the electronic and optical properties become dependent on the size and shape of the nanostructure.

What is the Quantum Size Effect? The quantum size effect (QSE) is a phenomenon observed in nanomaterials where their electronic, optical, and magnetic properties deviate from those of the bulk ...

A technical paper titled “Enhanced thermoelectric performance via quantum confinement in a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor for thermal management” was published by researchers at ...

Their size-dependent colors are essentially a naked-eye, ambient-condition visualization of the quantum confinement effect. In recent years, more exotic quantum effects have been observed using ...

CdTe Quantum Dots, or cadmium telluride quantum dots, are a type of semiconductor nanocrystals that have gained significant attention due to their unique optical and electronic characteristics. These ...

Attosecond time-resolved experiments have revealed the increasing importance of electronic correlations in the collective ...

Quantum technology struggles with scaling up, as the special properties of quantum materials typically vanish in larger structures. Researchers have now found a way to maintain quantum properties in ...
