Collaborative research at Notre Dame has demonstrated that electronic interactions play a significant role in the dimensional crossover of semiconductor nanomaterials. The laboratory of Masaru Kuno,professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and the condensed matter theory group of Boldizsár Jankó, and professor of physics,beget now shown that a critical length scale marks the transition between a zero-dimensional, quantum dot and a one-dimensional nanowire.
