What is the Quantum Size Effect? The quantum size effect (QSE) is a phenomenon observed in nanomaterials where their electronic, optical, and magnetic properties deviate from those of the bulk ...

To sum up the dimensionality issue in nanomaterials, each class—zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D)—displays unique properties due to the ...
