Abstract
Semiconductor clusters (crystallites) of 20–30Å diameter are synthesized and stabilized using liquid phase arrested precipitation reactions. Their electronic states are characterized via in situ absorption and luminescence spectroscopy. The clusters, although crystalline, are too small to have the bulk semiconductor band gap. The physical nature of their electronic states is discussed.
