What is it about?
Over the past decade, there has been a great interest in the growth and characterization of II-VI semiconductor nanoparticles. It has been demonstrated that the optical, electrical and thermodynamic properties of these particles can be significantly different from those of bulk material of the same composition [1]. As the size is reduced below the bulk exciton diameter, the particles display novel physical and chemical properties as a result of the high surface area to volume ratio, the confinement of charge carriers and size-dependent Coulomb interactions.

Why is it important?
The ability to control electronic interactions at the interfaces of semiconductor nanoparticles and host matrix is of fundamental importance for several emerging fields of science and technology, ranging from dye-sensitized photovoltaics to sensors and molecular electronics.
