Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are two examples of low-dimensional nanomaterials. This book investigates QDs and SWCNTs using quantum-chemical calculations that describe details of excited state phenomena, and provides information ab…
Rapid advances in chemical synthesis and fabrication techniques have led to novel nano-sized materials that exhibit original and often unforeseen properties. One of the greatest advantages of these nano-systems is that their electronic and optical properties can be controlled, n…
In this monograph, the authors address the physics and engineering together with the latest achievements of efficient and compact ultrafast lasers based on novel quantum-dot structures and devices. Their approach encompasses a broad range of laser systems, while taking into cons…
