Title: Eliminating emissive sub-bandgap states in nanocrystals

Abstract

The size-dependent band-gap tunability and solution processability of nanocrystals (NCs) make them attractive candidates for optoelectronic applications. One factor that presently limits the device performance of NC thin films is sub-bandgap states, also referred to as trap states. Trap states can be controlled by surface treatment of the nanocrystals.
