Size and shape effects on the band gap of semiconductor compound nanomaterials
The size- and shape-dependent band gap energy of semiconductor compound nanomaterials (SCNs) is formulated. The model theory is based on the cohesive energy of the nanocrystals compared to the bulk crystals. We have considered CdSe, CdTe, ZnS, ZnSe and ZnTe semiconductors compounds for the study of...
