✦ Synopsis


Solution Synthesis of Germanium Nanocrystals Demonstrating Quantum Confinement.

-Colloidal solutions of Ge nanocrystals are prepared from Na germanide and GeCl 4 followed by reaction with MeLi. The resulting Me-terminated nanocrystals show an average particle size of 3.5 nm. The size dependence of the intense absorption, the blue shift of the absorption to the UV, and the monotonic shift of the emission wavelength with excitation wavelength all provide strong evidence for quantum confinement in these Ge nanocrystals. -(TAYLOR,
