Quantum Size Effects in the Photonics of Semiconductor Nanoparticles

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The appearance of quantum size effects in ultradisperse semiconductors, their quantitative analysis, and their effect on the absorption of light and on the photophysical (vibrational relaxation of photogenerated “hot” charge carriers, band-band and “defect” luminescence) and certain primary photochemical processes (the accumulation of excess negative charge by the semiconductor nanoparticles, interphase electron transfer, etc.) are discussed.
