Abstract

Based on a model for size-dependent cohesive energy, the size-dependent bandgap of II–VI semiconductor nanocrystals are modeled without any adjustable parameter. The model predicts an increase of the bandgap of semiconductors with decreasing of crystalline sizes. The model predictions are supported by the available experimental results.
