The optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals (SC NCs) are largely controlled by their size and surface chemistry, i.e., the chemical nature and number of surface ligands as well as the strength of the particle-ligand bond.

The surface ligands on chemically modified germanenes have strong influence on the intrinsic fluorescence, on the bio-conjugation ability and the bio-recognition efficiency of the material towards the detection of a specific analyte.

The preparation and surface chemistry Si quantum dots (SiQDs) are currently an intense focus of research because of their size dependent optical properties and many potential applications. SiQDs offer several advantages over other quantum dots; Si is earth abundant, non-toxic and biocompatible. This account briefly highlights recent advancements made by our research group related to the synthesis, functionalization, surface dependent optical properties and applications of SiQDs.

ABSTRACTWe have analysed the effect of symmetry breaking on the optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals due to doping by charged impurities. Using doped CdSe nanocrystals as an example, we show the effects of a Coulomb center on the exciton fine-structure and optical selection rules using symmetry theory and then quantify the effect of symmetry breaking on the exciton fine structure, modelling the charged center using a multipole expansion. The model shows that the presence of a Coulomb center breaks the nanocrystal symmetry and affects its optical properties through mixing and shifting of the hole spin and parity sublevels. This symmetry breaking, particularly for positively charged centers, shortens the radiative lifetime of CdSe nanocrystals even at room temperature, in qualitative agreement with the increase in PL efficiency observed in CdSe nanocrystals doped with positive Ag charge centers [A. Sahu et.al., Nano Lett. 12, 2587, (2012)]. The effect of the charged center on the photoluminescence and the absorption spectra is shown, with and without the presence of compensating charges on the nanocrystal surface. While spectra of individual nanocrystals are expected to shift and broaden with the introduction of a charged center, configuration averaging and inhomogeneous broadening are shown to wash out these effects. The presence of compensating charges at the NC surface also serves to stabilize the band edge transition energies relative to NCs with no charge centers.

Surface chemistry and topography of materials are generally preponderant factors in a series of material properties, such as adhesion, wettability, friction and optical properties [1]. Wettability of films, for example, can be altered significantly by modifying its surface roughness and also by incorporating functional groups. Plasma treatment is a powerful and versatile way to modify surface properties of amorphous nitrogen-incorporated carbon thin films (a-C:H(N)) and obtain materials with improved properties, once it is possible to modify the surfaces in a controlled way by specific settings of plasma conditions.
