The Quantum Size Effect arises due to the confinement of electrons within nanomaterials. When the size of these materials becomes comparable to the de Broglie wavelength of electrons, it restricts the ...
Metals are well-known for their plasmonic properties—collective oscillations of free electrons that produce unique optical ...
Nanoplatelets, with their ability to form helical structures, and exceptional optical properties due to quantum confinement, stand out as a prime candidate for creating new materials with specific ...
