Abstract

Semiconductor nanoparticulates are important materials bridging the gap insize and electronic properties between molecular species and bulk materials.Synthetic approaches to producing controlled sized clusters of this sortwill be described, covering physical encapsulation in zeolites or porousglass and extending to discrete syntheses using surface terminatingreagents. The optical properties of the resultant materials will bedescribed in detail and the structural topology of the clusters elucidatedby combined powder and single crystal diffraction. Thermal transformationsof these clusters into bulk materials will be tracked and the processingpossibilities explored for the production of polycrystalline films andpolymer/semiconductor composites. Photoconductivity in the latter compositeswill be described.
