Quantum Dots and Applications
Quantum yield is a measure of the efficiency of photon-to-electron conversion in a system, expressed as the ratio of the number of photons emitted (or events resulting from excitations) to the number of photons absorbed. It plays a crucial role in understanding the performance of various materials and devices, particularly in how effectively they can convert absorbed light into useful energy or signals, influencing processes such as electron-hole pair generation, fluorescence emission, and the stability of luminescent materials.
