A new approach to developing semiconductor materials at tiny scales could help boost applications that rely on converting light to energy. A Los Alamos-led research team incorporated magnetic dopants into specially engineered colloidal quantum dots — nanoscale-size semiconductor crystals — and was able to achieve effects that may power solar cell technology, photo detectors and applications that depend on light to drive chemical reactions.
