OVERVIEW
Preparative methods derived from inorganic
and organometallic chemistry enable the size-selective synthesis ofcolloidal semiconductor nanocrystals.
Their optical properties depend on the material
and can be adjusted with the nanocrystal size via
quantum confinement.
As nanometric light emitters they can be used in
biological labeling, as light absorbers and electron conductors in
hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells.
