Direct methods (using a laser particle size analyzer) and indirect (from the analysis of spectral characteristics and differential normalized tunnel CVC) methods of CdSe QD size estimation allowed determination of the size (4 – 5 nm) and shown good qualitative and quantitative agreement of the results with an error of less than 10 %. It is concluded that the tunnel differential CVC analysis is an effective method for express measurement that can be used in quantum-size object investigations.
Keywords: quantum dots, cadmium selenide, differential tunneling current-voltage characteristics, energy spectrum.
