Colloidal Quantum Dots: 4. Colloidal Quantum Dots and Basic Photoluminescence Laws

Abstract A brief review of the well-known laws and rules of photoluminescence is given, and it is shown that these laws usually do not hold for CQD solutions. It has been shown that this is due to a special mechanism for the formation of the luminescent properties of CQDs. The derivation of a new universal law of photoluminescence, applicable to any type of luminophores, which has recently been substantiated theoretically and verified experimentally using the example of CQDs, is presented.
