Main Group Metal-Halide Complexes, Electronic Spectra, Excitons The title compounds (natural low-dimensional semiconductor systems) exhibit strong excitonic optical absorption bands in the UV spectral region, because of the quantum confinement of excitons, as in the cases of bivalent-metal and trivalent-metal halide complexes. The excitonic bands are shifted to longer wavelengths, approaching those of the corresponding bulk materials, as the anion-size or the anion-dimensionality increases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
