Abstract
The surface electronic properties of CdSe nanocrystallites have been probed using low temperature and Zeeman spectroscopies. Fluorescence line narrowed spectra show dramatic changes between 1.75 and 10 K and also as a function of applied magnetic field. These effects are attributed to the localization of the photogenerated charge carriers on the surface. A simple model has been constructed to calculate the charge distribution within the nanocrystallite.
