Quantum dots are crystals of semiconductors of nanometer size (nanocrystals), with the properties determined by the quantum size eff ect. Nowadays quantum dots are widely used in various areas as optoelectronics, photovoltaics, biology, and medicine, and their synthesis is constantly being improved.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В 2023 г. Нобелевская премия в области химии присуждена Алексею Екимову, Луису Брюсу и Мунги Бавенди за работы 80-х — начала 90-х годов прошлого века, ставшие фундаментом физики и технологии нульмерных структур — квантовых точек. Квантовыми точками называют кристаллы полупроводников нанометрового размера (нанокристаллы), свойства которых определяются эффектом размерного квантования. В настоящее время квантовые точки широко применяются в целом ряде областей: в оптоэлектронике, фотовольтаике, биологии и медицине, а их синтез продолжает совершенствоваться.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Nobel prize</kwd><kwd>quantum dots</kwd><kwd>nanocrystals</kwd><kwd>synthesis of nanocrystals</kwd><kwd>quantum-size effect</kwd><kwd>low-dimensional structures</kwd><kwd>exciton</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Нобелевская премия</kwd><kwd>квантовые точки</kwd><kwd>нанокристаллы</kwd><kwd>синтез нанокристаллов</kwd><kwd>квантово-размерный эффект</kwd><kwd>низкоразмерные структуры</kwd><kwd>экситон</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Russian-American scientist Ekimov awarded Nobel Prize in chemistry (The Associated Press, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 4 October 2023, 11:25 PM.
