Abstract

Quantum confinement effect and its influence on absorption and photoluminescence spectra of CdSe nanoparticles chemically synthesized in thermotropic ionic liquid crystal of cadmium octanoate are studied. It was found out that the spectral resolution grows with decrease of temperature, so it becomes possible to distinguish the band-edge luminescence from the bands associated with the presence of surface defects. Obtained spectra were analyzed theoretically and the energy diagrams for samples with 1.8 nm and 2.6 nm nanoparticles were calculated.
