27. In fact, surface exciton shifts are much larger than predicted by purely electrostatic concepts since significant contributions arise from quantum effects [11]. Quantum-mechanical embedded-cluster calculations revealed that a particular absorption, band measured on AEO powders is actually composed of more than one electronic transition [15]. Thus, excitation and absorption spectra should generally be assigned to surface topological features such as corners or edges rather than single ions of a specific coordination number.
28. Scattering effects render the quantification, of particles reached by excitation light and those sampled with respect to PL emission impossible.
