33. +3/2 = (X + i Y)a/ 2, where X and Y are p orbitals along the x and y crystal directions. The valence band degeneracy can be lifted, and different hole states mixed, by the crystal structure as well as by the nanoparticle boundary. Thus, for very small nanoparticles the excitonic electron dipole moment depends on the crystal shape.
