Abstract
Applying the cohesive energy model, this research theoretically studies how the size of nanoparticles affects their optical characteristics. The findings demonstrate that optical characteristics are size-dependent for nanoparticles, with an exponentially growing energy gap for nanoparticles on a scale of less than 4 nm. As the size of nanoparticles is reduced, the absorption wavelength also decreases. Compounds undergo a transition to a higher energy spectral area (blue shift) when their wavelength decreases; this change can make these compounds effective in certain optical nanodevices.
期刊介绍:
Chalcogenide Letters (CHL) has the aim to publish rapidly papers in chalcogenide field of research and
appears with twelve issues per year. The journal is open to letters, short communications and breakings news
inserted as Short Notes, in the field of chalcogenide materials either amorphous or crystalline. Short papers in
structure, properties and applications, as well as those covering special properties in nano-structured
chalcogenides are admitted.
