Quantum confinement increases the spacing between energy levels as the nanocrystallite size is decreased. Its qualitative features hold both for states localized near the center of a nanocrystallite and those near the surface, such as…

Generally, there are two distinct effects in modifying the properties of low-dimensional nanostructures: surface effect (SS) due to increased surface-volume ratio and quantum size effect (QSE) due to quantum confinement in reduced…
Silicon anodes offer high energy densities for next-generation lithium-ion batteries; however, their application is limited by severe volume expansion during cycling. Making silicon porous or nanostructured mitigates this expansion but…
Quantum dots (QDs), embedded in supercapacitors (S-C) cells exhibited capacitance amplification that peaked at certain QD concentration. More than 2.5 peak amplification was demonstrated with cyclic voltammetry (C-V) at a scan rate of 0.1…

The use of aqueous electrolytes in energy storage devices is traditionally limited by the voltage stability window of water at 1.23 V. We present the use of a microemulsion based electrolyte which, although mostly water by mass, has a…
A quantum computer is proposed in which information is stored in the two lowest electronic states of doped quantum dots (QDs). Many QDs are located in a microcavity. A pair of gates controls the energy levels in each QD. A Controlled Not…
In recent experiments, unprecedentedly large values for the conductivity of electrolytes through carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been measured, possibly owing to flow slip and a high pore surface charge density whose origin is still unknown.…
