Showcasing of different colloidal quantum dots under UV excitation

Nano Tech Lab

Experience the captivating world of colloidal quantum dots under UV excitation with our demonstration! Colloidal quantum dots are nanoscale semiconductor particles that exhibit unique optical properties, including size-tunable emission colors. In this demonstration, we'll showcase a variety of colloidal quantum dots and observe how they emit different colors of light when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. By varying the size and composition of the quantum dots, you'll witness a stunning array of colors, highlighting the quantum confinement effect. Explore the potential applications of these quantum dots in areas such as display technology, lighting, and biomedical imaging. Join us for an illuminating journey into the fascinating realm of colloidal quantum dots and their extraordinary optical properties.
