Metallic Magic: Forging a Dream Material With Semiconductor Quantum Dots — Scientists have developed |
Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and colleagues have successfully developed a “superlattice” of semiconductor quantum dots that can function similarly to a metal. The new material’s conductivity was found to be one million times greater than existing quantum dot displays, while the quantum confinement of individual dots remained.
Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and collaborators have succeeded in creating a “superlattice” of semiconductor quantum dots that can behave like a metal, potentially imparting exciting new properties to this popular class of materials. However, getting semiconductor quantum dots to efficiently conduct electricity has been a major challenge, impeding their full use. This is primarily due to their lack of orientational order in assemblies.
The researchers tested the conductivity of the material they created, and as they increased the carrier density using a electric-double-layer transistor, they found that at a certain point it became one million times more conductive than what is currently available from quantum dot displays. Importantly, the quantum confinement of the individual quantum dots was still maintained, meaning that they don’t lose their functionality despite the high conductivity.
