Abstract
In this project, managed by the Division of Chemistry at the NSF, Professor Duchimaza Heredia and students at Emmanuel College will use computer simulations to understand why carbon dots fluoresce. Carbon dots are formed by a polymerization reaction of small molecules at high temperatures, and they have been observed to glow in various colors. The multicolor fluorescence of carbon dots makes them useful in…
