ABSTRACTLow dimensionality provides opportunities to modify the properties of bulk materials dramatically and to control materials properties independently in a manner that is not possible for bulk materials. The special characteristics of low dimensional materials to enhance thermoelectric performance have already been demonstrated in quantum wells, quantum wires and quantum dots. The main focus of this review is a summary of advances made in the modeling of quantum dot superlattice nanowires. Several new research directions for low dimensional thermoelectricity or inspired by this research are briefly mentioned.

AbstractRare-earth dopants are arguably one of the most studied optical centers in solids, with applications spanning from laser optoelectronics, biosensing, lighting to displays. Nevertheless, harnessing rare-earth dopants’ extraordinary coherence properties for quantum information technologies is a relatively new endeavor, and has been rapidly advancing in recent years. Leveraging the state-of-the-art photonic technologies, on-chip rare-earth quantum devices functioning as quantum memories, single photon sources and transducers have emerged, often with potential performances unrivaled by other solid-state quantum technologies. These existing quantum devices, however, nearly exclusively rely on macroscopic bulk materials as substrates, which may limit future scalability and functionalities of such quantum systems. Thus, the development of new platforms beyond single crystal bulk materials has become an interesting approach. In this review article, we summarize the latest progress towards nanoscale, low-dimensional rare-earth doped materials for enabling next generation rare-earth quantum devices. Different platforms with a variety of synthesis methods are surveyed. Their key metrics measured to date are presented and compared. Special attention is placed on the connection between the topology of each platform to its target device applications. Lastly, an outlook for near term prospects of these platforms are given, with a hope to spur broader interests in rare-earth doped materials as a promising candidate for quantum information technologies.

The title compounds (natural low-dimensional semiconductor systems) exhibit strong excitonic optical absorption bands in the UV spectral region, because of the quantum confinement of excitons, as in the cases of bivalent-metal and trivalent-metal halide complexes. The excitonic bands are shifted to longer wavelengths, approaching those of the corresponding bulk materials, as the anion-size or the anion-dimensionality increases.

Measured Thermal Conductivity

Low-dimensional nanostructures such as nanotubes, nanowires, and quantum dots are promising building blocks for electronic, optical, sensing, and energy conversion applications. For effective device design it is important to understand how the basic thermal properties of nanostructures differ from those of bulk materials. For example, the measured thermal conductivity of silicon nanowires [1] can be understood with a 3-dimensional dispersion relation [2] for diameters down to about 40 nm, although at 22 nm diameter the experiment and modeling diverge sharply.

Electron Microscopes

By 1940, a half dozen or so commercial or home-built transmission electron microscopes were in use for studies of the ultrastructure of matter. These operated at 30-60 kV and most pioneering microscopists were preoccupied with their search for electron transparent substrates to support dispersions of particulates or bacteria for TEM examination and did not contemplate studies of bulk materials. Metallurgist H. Mahl and other physical scientists, accustomed to examining etched, deformed or machined specimens by reflected light in the optical microscope, were also highly motivated to capitalize on the superior resolution of the electron microscope. Mahl originated several methods of preparing thin oxide or lacquer impressions of surfaces that were transparent in his 50 kV TEM. The utility of replication was recognized immediately and many variations on the theme, including two-step negative-positive replicas, soon appeared. Intense development of replica techniques slowed after 1955 but important advances still occur. The availability of 100 kV instruments, advent of thin film methods for metals and ceramics and microtoming of thin sections for biological specimens largely eliminated any need to resort to replicas.
