Chapter 12, Problem 12.14P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct match of pictures with their particle size of $\text{CdSe}$ nanoparticle should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The quantum dots of any solids can be defined as the semiconductor particles that have size in nanoparticle range and changes color with change in diameter of particles. Since size of nanoparticle is intermediate between the bulk solids and atoms thus the spacing between electronic energy also has intermediate value between large for atoms and continuous band for bulk solids. These quantum dots are used in solar cells, LEDs, quantum computing, medical imaging.
