Optical Spectroscopy of Size Effects in Semiconductor Microcrystals

  • Chapter
Laser Optics of Condensed Matter

Abstract

Size effects in semiconductor systems with reduced dimensions have attracted considerable attention within the last few years. Besides the well known quantum-well and quantum-wire structures(1,2), semiconductor microcrystals prepared in aqueous and gaseous media were investigated(3,4). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the quantum confinement effects in semiconductor microcrystals grown in an optically transparent matrix of oxide glass. The preparation technique developed makes it possible to vary the size of microcrystals in a controlled manner from a few tens to thousands of angstroms(5).
