See supplementary material at http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4875912 E-APPLAB-104-060419 for (a) optimization of synthesis protocol through optical absorption, (b) wide angle x-ray scattering pattern of the CdSe ASNSs, (c) evaluation procedure for radial electron density from small angle x-ray scattering measurements, (d) instrumental details for different optical characterizations, and (e) calculation of exciton binding energy in nanosheets. Using the variational calculation, the Schrödinger equation of the electron-hole quasiparticle (excitons) has been solved for a monolayer structure by utilizing the cylindrical symmetry of the quasiparticle and binding energy of the excitons has been evaluated.
