Abstract:
Lead halide perovskite quantum dots are great candidates for single-photon sources due to their high photoluminescence quantum yield, ease of fabrication, and control of the emission wavelength. One disadvantage of these quantum dots is their low stability when exposed to oxygen and humidity. Polymeric encapsulation of the quantum dots increases stability when excited with UV light and prolongs the optical properties while stored. We are developing a 3D printing method that enables to position encapsulated single quantum dots in a polymer matrix into specific engineered structures. We aim to optimize the parameters to enable improved stability, opening opportunities to future quantum technologies.
