Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) confinement of excitons or electrons motion in nanometer-sized microcrystallites (nanocrystals — NCs) is an important phenomenon in physics, and is expected to bring a significant improvement to ultrafast functional devices. In the past ten years, several types of quasi-zero-dimensional (QZD) media such as dielectric matrices containing dispersed semiconductor- as well as metal NCs have been realized by using various techniques. Recently, we have succeeded in the preparation of thin-film QZD media. A reliable process has also been developed for the fabrication of thin-film Fabry-Perot interferometers (TFIs) with intermediate layers in form of QZD media.
