Abstract

We studied CdS1–xSex nanocrystals embedded in a silicate glass by means of complementary techniques like high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), micro-Raman spectroscopy and optical transmission and reflectivity. Transmission Electron Microscopy gives complete information on crystallization and size distribution of the nanocrystals wile Raman scattering is particularly useful in the determination of the composition of the nanocrystals for low-concentration or small-crystallite size composite. Having the size distribution and composition of the nanocrystals we have explained the transmission spectra of the studied samples. Optical transmission spectra evidence the quantization of the electronic states of the nanoparticles system with a size distribution described by a Gaussian function.
