Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The spectral and semiconductor properties of copper(I) and copper(II) sulfides in aqueous solution were studied. The colloids studied display quantum-sized effects. Two types of optical transitions, namely, indirect band-band and intraband transitions, are responsible for light absorption by the nanoparticles in the visible range.
