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.

ABSTRACTChemically functionalized alumina nanoparticles (carboxylate-alumoxanes) are used as the inorganic component of a new class of inorganic-organic hybrid materials. Lysine- or para- hydroxybenzoic acid-derivatized alumoxanes are readily prepared from the reaction of boehmite, [Al(O)(OH)]n, with the appropriate carboxylic acid. The peripheral organic hydroxides and amines of these carboxylate-alumoxanes either react directly with epoxide resins, such as the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DER 332), to form a hybrid material, or in the presence of an organic resin and hardener system to form a composite material. SEM and AFM show a uniform distribution of alumina nanoparticles within the resin matrix. The properties and cure times of the alumoxane hybrid and composite materials are distinct from both the pure resins and from a physical blend of the resins with traditional ceramic fillers. A significant increase in thermal stability and tensile strength is observed for both the hybrid and composite resin systems. In addition, both carbon fiber and carbon/Kevlar® matting have been successfully incorporated into the hybrid resin systems resulting in further property improvements.

VI semiconductors are promising nanomaterials for applications as window layers in low-cost and high-efficiency thin film solar cells. These nanoparticles are considered to be the model systems for investigating the unique optical and electronic properties of quantum-confined semiconductors. The electrical and optical properties of polymers are improved by doping with semiconductor materials and metal ions. In particular, nanoparticle-doped polymers are considered to be a new class of organic materials due to their considerable modification of physical properties. In this paper, I review the present status of these types of Inorganic/Organic hybrid nanocomposite materials. CdSe nanorods dispersed in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix have been prepared by chemical routes. Different characterization techniques like structural, optical and electrical have been used to characterize these nanocomposites. The devices like Schottky diodes and MOS structures have been fabricated and the results have been discussed in this review. The results have been compared with the reported literature by other groups also. Table of Contents
