Abstract

The last and final module in the "Turning Fruit Juice into Graphene Quantum Dots" Supplementary Lesson Plans, studies basic concepts in quantum mechanics such as quantum dots, band gap theory of solids, waves vs. particles, and the photoelectric effect. The activity for this module uses the Quantum Dot Lab simulation tool, to compare differences in energy levels for a quantum dot.
