摘要
Semiconductor quantum dots possess two important properties: Size-dependent increase in band gap (size quantization) and a very high surface-to-volume ratio. We show that cyanide adsorption on this high surface further increases the size quantization in films of CdSe and US quantum dots and that removal of the cyanide reverses this effect. This effect is explained by increased localization due to compression of the electron wave function in the dots by the strongly adsorbed [on both Cd and Se(S)] negatively charged cyanide.
