Eisensmith and Dholabhai publish on colloidal quantum dots
Alumnus Jacob Eisensmith ’24 (materials science) and Pratik Dholabhai, associate professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy, published an article on colloidal quantum dots for novel optoelectronic applications. Their research demonstrates a theoretical method for universally controlling the conduction type in HgTe colloidal quantum dots, a critical factor in device engineering.
