HYBRID NANOSTRUCTURES WITH QUANTUM DOTS A2B6 AND METAL NANOPARTICLES (REVIEW)

The current state of development of various hybrid semiconductor-metal nanostructures and studying their luminescent properties have been analyzed. These structures exhibit extraordinary optical characteristics caused by simultaneous existence of localized surface plasmons in metallic nanoparticles and excitons in semiconductor quantum dots and their resonant interaction. The current state of investigating the blinking of single quantum dots and quantum dots in the vicinity of metal nanoparticles has been also reviewed.

Keywords: semiconductor quantum dots, metal nanoparticles, hybrid nanostructures, excitons, local surface plasmons, radiation efficiency, photoluminescence.
