What is the origin of matter antimatter asymmetry? What happened during the first second after the Big Bang? In this talk I will discuss the prospect of using the

Speaker: Igor Fedin (University of Alabama, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry) Title: Enhanced Emission from the Bright Exciton and Locating the Dark Exciton in Asymmetrically Strained CdSe/CdxZn1–xSe Quantum Dots Colloidal CdSe/CdxZn1-xSe quantum dots (QDs) designed with a high degree of asymmetric internal strain have recently been shown to host a number of desirable optical properties
