Author's note: Moungi Bawendi has stated that the text of this chapter, though reviewed extensively by outside sources,
contains several "errors of fact" whose nature he did not specify. Although independent corroboration has been sought wherever possible, parts of this chapter have an air of
unauthorized biography, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Calculation of quantum dot sizes:
Energy (meV) = Temperature (K) * 86 (meV/K) Area (nm2) = 7e6 (nm2*meV) / Energy (meV) Diameter = 2 * (Area (nm2) / p)0.5
Stable quantum dot at room temperature:
Energy = 273 K * 86 meV/K = 23,478 meV Area = 7e6 / 23,478 meV = 298 nm2
Diameter = 2 * (298/p)0.5 = 19.48 nm
2 eV quantum dot:
Area = 7e6 / 2e6 meV = 3.5 nm2
Diameter = 2 * (3.5/p)0.5 = 2.12 nm
