19、sizes down to the extent where the behaviour of electrons and holes are affected by the quantum confinement often possess unique electronic and optical properties intermediate between those of bulk semiconductors and those of discrete molecules. This normally refers to a nanoparticle diameter compar
20、able to the Bohr radius of the exciton for the particular semiconductor material. Such nanoparticles are generally called quantum dots (QDs). A significant feature of these nanoparticles resulting from quantum confinement of charge carriers is size dependence of their electronic structure and, conse
21、quently, the excitonic absorption and emission wavelengths. Particularly, the transition energy from the valence band to the conduction band, and consequently the onset of absorption and the first excitonic transition (referred to here as first absorption peak position), is a function of the diamete
22、r of the particle (see Reference 1). Quantum dots commonly present sophisticated core-shell structures with a ligand shell controlling solubility and subsequent chemical functionalization. They are typically synthesized by chemical methods, with large-scale production and their size, shape, composit
23、ion, and structure control capabilities. Commercially available quantum dots are mainly made from cadmium chalcogenide (CdTe, CdSe, CdS) materials. The size dependence of emission maximum, narrow emission band width, and good photostability make these engineered nanoparticles appealing in biological
24、 labelling and opto- electronics applications (see Reference 2). Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy has become a routine method to characterize QDs in a colloidal dispersion, by utilizing the relationship between the wavelength of the first excitonic absorption peak and the particl
25、e size that has been established after extensive photophysics research in the past, and using analytical methods for high-quality cadmium chalcogenide (CdTe, CdSe, CdS) materials of narrow size distribution. Key properties, such as average nanoparticle size and number concentration, can be approxima
26、tely calculated from the measured absorption spectra. This Technical Specification intends to facilitate the use of UV-Vis spectroscopy for the characterization of quantum dot colloidal dispersions.

34、iple 3.1 General The absorption spectrum (absorbance A as a function of wavelength) of a QD colloidal sample with a narrow size distribution shows discrete peaks, due to the quantized energy levels in the quantum dots. Among these, the first excitonic absorption contains information on particle size
35、 (through the wavelength of the peak maximum), size distribution (through the peak HWHM), and concentration (through the peak intensity). 3.2 UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy The intensity of light passing through a sample (I) is measured and compared to the intensity of incident light (I 0 ). The abs
36、orbance, A, is expressed as log (I/I 0 ). The plot of the absorbance against wavelength for a particular compound is referred to as an absorption spectrum. 34 3.3 Absorption peaks of quantum dots in the UV-Vis region A typical optical absorption spectrum of colloidal CdSe QDs is shown in Figure 1.

For samples with broader size distributions, it is necessa
46、ry to take into consideration the resulting absorbance peak broadening and normalize the value of the absorbance A at the first excitonic absorption according to the following formula.
