Photoluminescence monolayer films

FIG. 14 Measurements on monolayers and LB films of CdSe nanoparticles of narrow size distribution (a) II-A isotherms for Langmuir monolayers of CdSe nanoparticles of diameter 2.5 run (curve a), 3.0 mn (curve b), 3.6 mn (curve c), 4.3 mn (curve d), and 5.3 mn (curve e). The area per nanoparticle was determined by dividing the trough area by the estimated number of particles deposited on the surface, (b) Absorbance and photoluminescence spectra of the nanoparticles in solution (A, B) and in monolayers on sulfonated polystyrene-coated glass sbdes (C. D). The nanoparticle diameters are 2.5 nm (curves labeled a), 3.6 nm (curves labeled b), and 5.3 nm (curves labeled c). The excitation wavelengths are (a) 430 nm, (b) 490 nm, and (c) 540 nm.
