Alexey Ekimov or Aleksey Yekimov (Russian: Алексей Екимов; born 1945) is a Russian solid state physicist and a pioneer in nanomaterials research. He discovered the semiconductor nanocrystals known as quantum dots in 1981, while working at the Vavilov State Optical Institute.
Aleksey Yekimov is a Russian-born chemist who discovered and synthesized quantum dots, nanoparticles that exhibit size-dependent quantum effects. He shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2023 with two other researchers for their contributions to nanotechnology.
Alexei Ekimov is a Soviet-born American physicist who was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in producing quantum dots, which are very small particles whose unusual quantum properties depend on their size.
Oct 4, 2023 · Ekimov, along with Moungi Bawendi and Louis Brus, received the prize for their work on glowing nanoparticles that interact with light in unusual ways. They predicted and made quantum dots, which are used in fields from electronics to surgery.
Oct 4, 2023 · The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded on Wednesday to Moungi G. Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexei I. Ekimov for being pioneers of the nanoworld. The new laureates discovered and developed...
Aleksey Yekimov is one of the laureates of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on quantum confinement in coloured glass. In this interview, he recounts his first reaction to the news, his experiments, and his textbook confirmation of the theory.
Oct 4, 2023 · Ekimov, a physicist at Nanocrystals Technology, Inc., is one of the three laureates for the discovery and development of quantum dots, nanoparticles that change color and properties with size. He demonstrated the effect of size on quantum dots in glass and gaseous compounds in the 1980s.
