May 13, 2024 · Alexei Ekimov (born 1945, U.S.S.R.) is a Soviet-born American physicist who was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in producing quantum dots, which are very small particles whose unusual quantum properties depend on their size.
Oct 4, 2023 · Ekimov was first to report observing size-dependent light effects, in coloured glass doped with copper chloride particles, in 1981 1. The following year, Brus described making quantum dots in a...
Since 1999, Ekimov has been the Chief Scientist at Nanocrystals Technology Inc., USA. On 4 October 2023 Ekimov was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, along with Moungi G. Bawendi and Louis E. Brus, “for the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots.”
Oct 4, 2023 · In the early 1980s, however, Ekimov proved it could be done. He showed how changing the size of tiny nanoparticles of copper chloride suspended in glass affected the color of the glass.
Oct 4, 2023 · In the late 1970s, Ekimov, then at the Vavilov State Optical Institute in Russia, first managed to make nanometer-size crystals of copper chloride, embedded in glass. He confirmed that dots of different size fluoresced in different colors.
Oct 4, 2023 · Chemist Moungi Bawendi (left), chemist Louis Brus (middle) and physicist Alexei Ekimov (right) have split the 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry for “the discovery and development of quantum dots,...
Oct 4, 2023 · Moungi Bawendi, of MIT, Louis Brus, of Columbia University, and Alexei Ekimov, of Nanocrystals Technology Inc., were honored for their work with the tiny particles that are just a few atoms in diameter and whose electrons have constrained movement.
