Why are Excitonic Effects Important in Nanotechnology?
In nanomaterials, such as quantum dots, nanowires, and 2D materials like graphene, the spatial confinement of electrons and holes enhances excitonic interactions. This confinement can lead to a range of important properties, such as enhanced optical absorption, emission, and nonlinear optical properties. Understanding excitonic effects is crucial for developing advanced optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and photodetectors.
