Mighty Small DotsArkiveret 30. juni 2005 hos Wayback Machine Citat: "..."For years," says Lee, "scientists have been trying to make silicon emit light efficiently and in the visible range. This has been one of the holy grails of science."...What makes our dots unique is that their luminescence can be tuned to any wavelength over a broad spectral range and be stable under ambient conditions. No one else has done this. We also believe we understand the underlying physics..."
2004-06-23, Sciencedaily: Wireless Nanocrystals Efficiently Radiate Visible Light Citat: "...The efficiency of the energy transfer from the quantum well to the nanocrystals was approximately 55 percent – although in theory nearly 100 percent transfer of the energy is possible and might be achieved with further tweaking...The work is another step in creating more efficient white-light-emitting diodes..."
2005-10-21, sciencedaily: Quantum Dots That Produce White Light Could Be The Light Bulb's Successor Citat: "...The report of their discovery, which happened by accident, appears in the communication “White-light Emission from Magic-Sized Cadmium Selenide Nanocrystals”...As a result, the light produced by the quantum dots looks more nearly like the “full spectrum”...either 33 or 34 pairs of atoms, which happens to be a “magic size”...The quantum dots were supposed to emit blue light, but instead they were giving off a beautiful white glow..."
