Quantum dots are known for their size dependent optical properties, more specifically, their photoluminscence and electroluminescence. Such size depdent optical properties are dictated by the excitons generated by photo- and electro-excitation. In other words, the most atractive properties of quantum dots are associated with their excited states, or excitons. However, synthetic chemistry of quantum dots at present stage is mostly centered around their size, structure, and ground state properties. This talk shall discuss possibilities to direct synthetic efforts of quantum dots towards control of their excitons.
