The energies of the two energetically lowest dipole-allowed electron-hole-pair states in semiconductor microcrystallites are computed variationally and significant deviations from the infinite-potential approximation are obtained.Abstract:
The energies of the two energetically lowest dipole-allowed electron-hole-pair states in semiconductor microcrystallites are computed variationally. Details of the quantum confinement conditions, such as the finite value of the quantum confinement potential and the different effective electron-hole masses inside and outside the crystallites, are considered explicitly. Significant deviations from the infinite-potential approximation are obtained.read more

Resonance Raman studies of the ground and lowest electronic excited state in CdS nanocrystals
TL;DR: The size dependence of the resonance Raman spectrum of CdS nanocrystals ranging in size from 10 to 70 A radius has been studied in this article, showing that while the lowest electronic excited state is coupled strongly to the lattice, this coupling decreases as the nanocrystal size is decreased.
