▪ Abstract We review the rapid progress made in our understanding of the crystal properties
of semiconductors and nanocrystals focussing on theoretical results obtained within the …

We present a theoretical analysis of the band-edge exciton structure in nanometer-size
crystallites of direct semiconductors with a cubic lattice structure or a hexagonal lattice …

We use photoluminescence excitation to study the electronic spectrum of CdSe quantum
dots ranging from∼ 12 to∼ 53 Å in radius. We follow the size evolution of ten quantum dot …

We use external magnetic fields to identify the band edge emitting state in CdSe quantum
dots. The field dependence of emission decays and LO phonon spectra show the …

This book presents an overview of the current understanding of the physics of zero-
dimensional semiconductors. It concentrates mainly on quantum dots of wide-gap …

We use photoluminescence excitation and fluorescence line narrowing spectroscopies to
examine structure observed in the band-edge absorption feature of CdSe quantum dots. We …

We study the luminescence of surface modified CdSe nanocrystallites. There has been
much speculation as to the origin of the band edge emission in these quantum confined …

In the 1990s, nanoparticles and quantum dots began to be used in optical, electronic, and
biological applications. Now they are being studied for use in solid-state quantum …

The vast technological potential of nanocrystalline materials, as well as current intense
interest in the physics and chemistry of nanoscale phenomena, has led to explosive growth …

Over the last 15 years nanocrystals embedded in a glass matrix have been a subject for
studies of fundamental phenomena of quasiparticles (electrons, holes, excitons, phonons) …
