Abstract
The present invention relates to semiconductor materials that include a silicon-based quantum dot; and a conjugated organic ligand connected to the silicon-based quantum dot to obtain a functionalized quantum dot. An additional aspect of the present invention is to provide methods that include providing a silicon-based quantum dot; and connecting a conjugated organic ligand connected to the silicon-based quantum dot to obtain a functionalized quantum dot.
