M. Nirmal et al., SURFACE ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES OF CDSE NANOCRYSTALLITES, Zeitschrift fur Physik. D, Atoms, molecules and clusters, 26(1-4), 1993, pp. 361-363
The surface electronic properties of CdSe nanocrystallites have been p
robed using low temperature and Zeeman spectroscopies. Fluorescence li
ne narrowed spectra show dramatic changes between 1.75 and 10 K and al
so as a function of applied magnetic field. These effects are attribut
ed to the localization of the photogenerated charge carriers on the su
rface. A simple model has been constructed to calculate the charge dis
tribution within the nanocrystallite.
