What is it about?
By measurements on single nanocrystals of indium antimonide in the interelectrode nanogap of a scanning probe microscope, current-voltage characteristics with quasiperiodic current pulsations, are explained in the model of Bloch oscillations in a perfect nanocrystal, and individual sharp peaks - conductivity resonances, explained in the model of quantum-size limitation of the wave process of electron transport in a deep potential hole.

Why is it important?
The mutual influence of radiation from two statistical ensembles of nanocrystals from the same batch was experimentally studied and established. It is assumed that this radiation is entangled photons. It is proposed to use nanocrystals in nanoelectronics as a single-electron memristor, a single-photon bolometer, and a source of microwave radiation.
Perspectives
The most studied objects in the areas of nanotechnology and nanoscience are nanoparticles, with their characteristic sizes less than 100 nm, and, in particular, quantum dots (QD), which are understood not only as zero-dimensional formations, in their true physical meaning, but also, in general, any nanoparticles with sizes less than 10 nm .
