Welcome to this nanoHUB group page. This group is created for people interested in learning about the Quantum Dot Solar Cells (QDSC) Project. To access QDSC project related materials:

1. Create a nanoHUB account by clicking on the Login button on the left-hand menu bar or the Sign UP (Free) button in the upper right hand corner. For class participation purposes, you are required to use your Purdue login as your User Login, your full legal first and last name, and your Purdue email address. 

2. Return to this page and clicking on the Join Group button.

• You will find QDSC Modeling Activity related materials now available on the left-hand menu bar under the QDSC Modeling Activity memo page
• You will find QDSC design project related materials now available on the left-hand menu bar under the QDSC Simulation Design Project memo page
• You will also find background information relevant to both projects under various pages on the left-hand menu bar

Nanotechnology is increasingly an important aspect of numerous engineering and science disciplines. Profs. Mark Lundstrom and Ashraf Alam – two of the top scientists working in nanotechnology today and who have contributed numerous materials to nanoHUB.org – point out that “Nanotechnology is not a field of engineering - it is a set of concepts, tools, and techniques that has become important in all engineering disciplines.” And – “Students should realize that whether they become electrical, computer, materials, mechanical, etc. engineers, nanotechnology will be important to them and that the key concepts cut across all disciplines in engineering and science.”
