Semiconductor and Quantum dots Nanoparticles /Nanopowder


Semiconductor and Quantum dots Nanoparticles /Nanopowder
Nanoparticles /nanopowder are of great scientific interest as they are effectively a bridge between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures. Nanoparticles/Nanopoıwders exhibit many specific properties relative to bulk material. If you categorize nano materials; their form can be metals nanoparticles , metals&alloys nanoparticles, metal oxides nanoparticles, carbides nanoparticles, borides nanoparticles, nitrides nanoparticles, silicon nanoparticles, and other elemental semiconductors nanoparticles
The Working Mechanism
Their unique physical properties are derived from atoms on the surface. The excitation of an electron from the valance band to the conduction band creates an electron hole pair. Recombination can happen two ways as radiative and non-radiative leading to radiative recombination to photon and non-radiative recombination to phonon (lattice vibrations).
In addition, the band gap becomes increasingly larger because of quantum confinement effects giving rise to discrete energy levels, rather than a continuous band as in the corresponding bulk material. Further, problem of particle agglomeration is overcome by passivating (capping) the “bare” surface atoms with protecting groups for providing electronic stabilization to the surface. The capping agent usually takes the form of a Lewis base compound covalently bound to surface metal atoms
Some Semi-Conductor Nano Particles:
  • Cadmium Sulfide(CdS) nano particles, Cadmium selenide nano particles (CdSe), Lead sulfide nano particles (PbS), Zinc sulfate nanoparticles(ZnS)
  • Indium phosphide (InP) nano particles, Indium arsenide (InAs) nano particles
  • titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano particles, Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nano particles, Iron Oxide (Fe2O3 )nano particles, Lead-oxide (PbO )nano particles, Yttrium Oxide( Y2O3) nano particles
                                 
                                                                             CdSxSe1-x/ZnS quantum dots of 6nm diameter


 Quantum dots Nanoparticles (Q-Dots)
Semiconductor nanoparticles/nanopowder also known as Q-dots . Q-dots are nanoparticles of materials with diameters in the range of 1 to 20 nm.
Properties of Q - dots
Their electronic characteristics depending on their size and shape. Quantum Dots have high quantum yield of often 20-25 times brighter, possess a narrower and more symmetric emission spectra, 100-1000 times more stable to photo bleaching, possess high resistance to photo-/chemical degradation and have tunable wave length range of 400-4000 nm.
Applications
Quantum dots nanoparticles find applications in a number of areas such as ,nonlinear optics, luminescence, electronics, catalysis, solar energy conversion transistors, LEDs, medical imaging and quantum computing, thanks to their unique electronic properties..

Hydroxyapatite Nanopowders and Their Applications

Hydroxyapatite, is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (OH). Pure hydroxyapatite powder is white. Naturally occurring apatites can, however, also have brown, yellow, or green colorations, comparable to the discolorations of dental fluorosis. Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder/Nanoparticles (50 nm, 99.95+%)  has been widely used as a biocompatible ceramic in many areas of medicine, but mainly for contact with bone tissue, due to its resemblance to mineral bone. In mammals, the skeleton presents a carbonated and partially substituted apatite, based on nanocrystal aggregates, and associated with collagen, building up 3-D structures present in various bone tissue conformations like trabecular or cancellous bone. There has been growing interest in developing bioactive synthetic ceramics that could closely mimic natural apatite characteristics. As mentioned before,  Hydroxyapatite Nanopowder  is the main inorganic constituent of bon...

Rundown about Silicon Oxide Wafer

The main insulating material used in micro-technology is Silicon Dioxide, which in chemical symbols is written as SiO2. In semiconductor technology, SiO2 thin film layers are mainly used as dielectric material film in transistors, capacitors (DRAM) or flash-memories. Silicon Oxide Wafers are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra-high purification processes such as sublimation. This process forms a cylindrical ingot, which is then sliced and polished to form wafers. Thermal oxide is a kind of "grown" oxide layer, compared to CVD deposited oxide layer, it has a higher uniformity, and higher dielectric strength, it is an excellent dielectric layer as an insulator . In most silicon- based devices, thermal oxide layer play an important role to pacify the silicon surface to act as doping barriers and as surface dielectrics. The simplest way to produce an insulating silicon oxide layers (SiO2) on silicon wafers is to oxidize silicon with oxygen, which ...
