摘要：

Using the potential morphing method within the finite depth square-well effective mass approximation, we calculate the exciton energy of narrow band gap colloidal PbS, PbSe, and InAs quantum dots, assuming a size dependent dielectric function. Concerning the behaviour of the effective band gap with the quantum dot radius, our theoretical results agree well with the experimental ones, in contrast with other theoretical models.
