How to Use This Calculator

Enter the quantum dot radius (nm) — smaller dots produce higher-energy (blue-shifted) emission.
Set the bulk bandgap (eV) and effective mass ratio (m*/m_e) for your semiconductor material.
Enter the dielectric constant for Coulomb correction accuracy.
Review emission wavelength (nm), effective bandgap (eV), quantum confinement energy, and Coulomb correction.
Use the color code output to correlate dot size with visible emission color for display or bio-imaging applications.
