Abstract :
We demonstrated material-specific binding of the quantum dot emitters hybridized with GEPI on multi-material patterned microchips. These proof-of-concept results open up new opportunities in nanophotonics, allowing for more specific and controlled assembly of quantum dots in optoelectronic devices and building of novel molecular organic-inorganic hybrid devices.
