21. The chemical techniques allow for the preparation of high crystalline quantum dots in sizes ranging at 10-30 Å in radius and having lattice constants differing from the bulk value in 2%-0.2%. [See S. H. Tolbert and A. P. Alivisatos, Annu. Rev. Phys. Chem. ARPLAP 0066-426X 46, 595 (1995)] 10.1146/annurev.pc.46.100195.003115; In these ultrasmall structures the effective mass approach still provides a good description of the electron motion through the lattice [See G. W. Bryant, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 59, 1140 (1987)] 10.1103/PhysRevLett.59.1140; J. L. Marin, R. Riera, and S. A. Cruz, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter JCOMEL 0953-8984 10, 1349 (1998) calculated the ground-state energy of excitons confined in spherical quantum dots, obtaining a good agreement for 5-40 Å radius with experimental data of CdS, CdSe, and CdTe crystallites. 10.1088/0953-8984/10/6/017

33. This behavior could be analogous to the one that occurs when one makes a hole in a sheet of fluid: holes made in thin sheets of fluid in which surface tension forces predominate will open out if they are initially large in relation to the thickness of the sheet; but small holes will close up [See G. I. Taylor and D. M. Michael, J. Fluid Mech. JFLSA7 0022-1120 58, 625 (1973]. (Below a certain diameter, the hole shrinks instead of expanding. Analogously, the nanoparticle would be a "hole" in the organic medium that would be compressed or tensioned depending on its diameter.). 10.1017/S0022112073002375
