15. CdSe/ZnSe core-shell nanoparticles used in this work were prepared by an organometallic synthetic approach in a three-component hexadecylamine- trioctylphosphine oxide-trioctylphosphine mixture as described in Ref.. For the PL measurements, the nanocrystals were dissolved in toluene. The PL spectra were excited using a Xe lamp and a monochromator and measured with a Hamamatsu R943 photomultiplier.

30. Owing to the high optical density of the medium, the absorption of the exciting beam and, consequently, the probability of excitation of the "primary" dots are not homogeneous in space. However, we do not take this fact into account because it would increase drastically the mathematical complexity of the problem, without influencing the qualitative understanding of the effect.
