Title: Optoelectronic devices utilizing materials having enhanced electronic transitions

Abstract

An optoelectronic device that includes a material having enhanced electronic transitions. The electronic transitions are enhanced by mixing electronic states at an interface. The interface may be formed by a nano-well, a nano-dot, or a nano-wire.
