Quantum confinement enhances the binding energy of excitons, which are electron-hole pairs formed upon light absorption. The increased exciton binding energy results in stronger light-matter ...

As the size of the nanomaterial decreases, the quantum confinement becomes stronger, and the separation between the energy levels increases. Excitons are electron-hole pairs that are bound together by ...

The excitation of a material with high-energy photons can produce what is known as an electron-hole plasma. This state is characterized by the dense presence of negatively charged particles (i.e ...
