We have investigated the surface effect of colloidally prepared CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) with the size range of 23-40 Å on their structural properties by changing the organic capping ligands. The TOPO/HDA-passivated NCs reveal a size-dependent behavior involving an elongated axial bondR(1)of an atomic tetrahedron and a shrunken equatorial bondsR(2). After treatment of the NCs with pyridine, the bond lengthR(1)decreases significantly whereasR(2)remains unchanged relative to the TOPO/HDA-passivated NCs, suggesting that a tensile stress along the [001] direction is contributed from the surface modification. In addition, we find that the expansion ratio of the pyridine-treated NCs along the c axis depends strongly on the density of stacking faults, which provides an evidence for the relaxation of atomic positions near the interface of stacking faults.

A method is described for calculating sets of dihedral angles in a seven- membered ring with equal tetrahedral bond angles and equal bond lengths. Representative values are given for the separate chair and boat manifolds of solutions.

ABSTRACTSecond Harmonic Generation in CdSe nanocrystal quantum dots is observed by Hyper-Rayleigh scattering. We use a Ti-Sapphire femtosecond laser at 820 nm to induce the nonlinear optical response of the nanocrystals in solution. The unit cell normalized second harmonic coefficient βn, shows a substantial systematic enhancement in small sizes. The observed size dependence of the second harmonic generation process, is explained assuming two contributions. The first is a bulk-like contribution, from the non-centrosymmetric nanocrystal core, and the second, a contribution from the particle surface. The latter contribution is most significant in small nanocrystals with a substantial proportion of surface atoms.
