摘要
Size and composition-dependences of band gap energies are important properties for nanocrystal semiconductors, and have attracted extensive attentions for the last two decades. In this letter, a simple method of band gap prediction for nanocrystal alloys is developed. The band gaps of II-VI semiconductor homogeneous alloys with zinc blende and wurtzite structure, such as zb-(ZnS)(x)(CdS)(1-x), zb-(CdS)(x)(CdSe)(1-x), zb-(ZnSe)(x)(CdSe)(1-x), w-(ZnS)(x)(CdS)(1-x), w-(ZnSe)(x)(CdSe)(1-x), and w-(CdSe)(x)(CdTe)(1-x) nanocrystal alloys, are calculated. The calculated results are in good agreement with the available experimental data. It provides insights into the effects of structure, size, and composition on the band gap.
