Diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum dots (DMS-QDs) is a class of material prepared by introducing a small percentage of magnetic impurities to impart new magneto-optical properties to the host nanocrystal (NC). Such materials are regarded as promising candidates for their potential application in spintronic devices. The overall functionality of the DMS‑QD is highly dependent on the dopant position within the host structure. A thorough understanding of the doping mechanism is, therefore, critical to gain better control over the dopant speciation in nanocrystal lattice and material properties. In this work, we utilized II‑VI molecular clusters that are analogous to bulk semiconductors as …


Modulating Dopant-Defect Interactions In Transition Metal Doped Colloidal Strontium Titanate Nanocrystals, William Harrigan Jul 2019

Modulating Dopant-Defect Interactions In Transition Metal Doped Colloidal Strontium Titanate Nanocrystals, William Harrigan

Doctoral Dissertations

Perovskites such as strontium titanate, a wide band gap semiconductor have been widely studied due to the multitude of potential applications in photocatalysis, multiferroics, sensing, and microelectronics. Various novel optical, electrical and magnetic properties can be imparted through the introduction of different transition metal dopant ions. The introduction of these impurities has been shown to impart functionality for various applications. The use of Cr3+has been shown to introduce defect levels into the band structure of SrTiO3and increase visible light utilization for photocatalysis. Transition metal doped highly crystalline colloidal SrTiO3nanocrystals (NC) were synthesized using two …
