What Role Do Electronic States Play in Nanotechnology Applications?
The discrete electronic states in nanomaterials enable a range of applications such as:
1. Quantum Dots: Employed in displays and biological imaging due to their size-tunable emission properties. 2. Nanowires: Used in transistors and sensors due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and one-dimensional electron transport. 3. Carbon Nanotubes: Utilized in field-effect transistors and conductive films because of their high electrical conductivity and mechanical strength.
