Charge transport in semiconductors assembled from nanocrystal quantum dots

While efficiency of nanocrystal-based devices has improved, charge transport within semiconductors assembled from nanocrystal quantum dots has remained unclear. Here, the authors use ab initio calculations to develop a predictive model for charge transport that also explains the origin of deep elect...

Description
Summary:While efficiency of nanocrystal-based devices has improved, charge transport within semiconductors assembled from nanocrystal quantum dots has remained unclear. Here, the authors use ab initio calculations to develop a predictive model for charge transport that also explains the origin of deep electronic traps and validate it experimentally.
