22. Plotted for clarity is the FFT power spectrum, typically computed from a subset of the data that excludes the sharp peak at t=0. When significant, nonoscillatory backgrounds were subtracted from the data prior to calculation of the FFT.

36. Two calibration factors were necessary to ensure that quantitative analysis of FFT linewidths produced correct values of Δf. The first relates the linewidths of the FFT magnitude and power spectra. While we could more reliably fit the power spectra, it is the linewidth of the FFT magnitude that is directly related to Δf. The second factor accounts for the fact that true Gaussian transforms are obtained only if the time-domain data are symmetric about t = 0. These factors were derived from analysis of simulated TRFR data using Eq. (6); the consistency of the procedure was checked with various values of Δg and H.
37. The sole exception to this rule is the 40 Å core/shell NC sample, where the electron and exciton dephasing rates are nearly equal.

43. Additional motivation for this speculation arises from data taken in CdS NC's prepared in a glass matrix (Ref. 27). Both CdSe and CdS NC's showed microsecond scale nonprecessing spin polarization in the Faraday and Voigt geometries. Observation of nonprecessing magnetization in the Voigt geometry is probably due to the random orientation of NC's in the sample. In CdS NC's, careful examination of the negative delay signal in the Voigt geometry at low fields (<3 mT) revealed W features similar to Hanlé effect data previously attributed to electron- nuclear hyperfine interactions in III-V bulk semiconductors (Ref. 42). Similar albeit less thorough measurements of the negative delay signal in CdSe NC's showed, no such features, for reasons which are unclear at present.
