Abstract and Keywords
This article describes the structure-induced quantum confinement effect in nanostructured crystals, a unique class of hybrid semiconductors that incorporate organic and inorganic components into a single-crystal lattice via covalent (coordinative) bonds to form extended one-, two- and three-dimensional network structures. These structures are comprised of subnanometer-sized II-VI semiconductor segments (inorganic component) and amine molecules (organic component) arranged into perfectly ordered arrays. The article first provides an overview of II-VI and III-V semiconductors, II-VI colloidal quantum dots, inorganic-organic hybrid materials before discussing the design and synthesis of I-VI-based inorganic-organic hybrid nanostructures. It also considers the crystal structures, quantum confinement effect, bandgaps, and optical properties, thermal properties, thermal expansion behavior of nanostructured crystals.
Keywords: quantum confinement, nanostructured crystals, hybrid semiconductors, quantum dots, nanostructures, crystal structure, bandgap, optical properties, thermal properties, thermal expansion
Jing Li is Assistant Professor at the Department of Business Law in Tilburg University (the Netherlands). She received her PhD in law from Tilburg University in 2015. Her research interests lie in the legal and regulatory issues related to the alternative investment funds industry and non-listed business forms in China—in particular, venture capital/private equity, sovereign wealth funds, and governance of entrepreneurial firms. She has published in academic journals including (but not limited to) Fordham Journal of Corporate and Financial Law, Michigan Journal of Private Equity and Venture Capital Law, and Asian Journal of Law and Economics. Before joining the academia, she practiced Chinese Law for three years, mainly in the area of cross-border M&As, joint ventures, and private equity transactions, including with Paul Hastings Beijing Office and the German Chamber of Commerce.
