Quantum Semiconductors Based on Carbon Materials for Nanophotonics and Photonics Applications by Electron Shuttle and Near Field Phenomena

Abstract

This review intended to resume key Research reports and publications that open many themes and topics related to Carbon-based semiconductors and Quantum emitters. The Design and synthesis of highly pure materials such as Graphene, Carbon Nanotubes, fullerenes, and other Carbon-based allotropes were shown. They presented their most important and promising properties concerning new studies and developments in photonics. Carbon-based Quantum dots, semiconductors, and higher sized Nanoplatforms allowed us to discuss fundamental studies and perspectives within varied applications. In this context, relevant developments from literature related to electron transfer within various targeted processes, where energy and light transfers occurred through different optical active materials and platforms, were highlighted and discussed. Therefore, many approaches that tuned the desired Optical active properties were shown. Thus, Hybrid materials from single Quantum and Nanoplatforms towards modified substrates were incorporated within varied media such as colloidal dispersions, solid devices, and waveguides. Moreover, Heterojunctions and applications such as energy harvesters and emitter devices were also presented. This manner highlighted varied topics of Photonics' leading current status, perspectives, and implications in Nanophotonics, Quantum photonics, and Optical lenses. Further views and commentaries about Green Photonics were presented as well.
