Nanoengineering involves the design and production of systems on the nanoscale, where many typical engineering concepts break down. At this size, quantum mechanics frequently cannot be ignored, and the exact size of nanostructures influence material properties. Quantum dots (QDs), or artificial atoms, are one such class of material and are of particular interest because they are effectively zero-dimensional (0D) materials with nearly δ-function density of states. Many semiconductor nanocrystals are QDs since the large effective Bohr radius in semiconductor materials (3 nm for silicon ) can exceed the size of the crystal. This results in the "artificial atom" (where the nanocrystal itself corresponds to the "nucleus" of the atom) and electronic properties which are heavily dependent on the size of the nanocrystal. Besides being useful for understanding electronic interactions, QDs have practical applications in light-emitting diodes, photovoltaics, photodetectors, bioimaging/biosensing, catalysis, and more. Due to the size-dependent properties of QDs, it is crucial to have controlled synthesis of nanoparticles, especially in regards to their size distribution. One method of such controlled synthesis is LaMer burst nucleation, by which the desired product is generated in a burst, under nearly uniform conditions, from supersaturated solute. The objective of this study is to elucidate the relationships between macroscopic quantities (solute generation rate and total number of nuclei produced) and microscopic nucleation parameters (critical nuclei size and attachment frequencies) in LaMer burst nucleation. Specifically, I will provide a simple, graphical interpretation relating these quantities.
