  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy of Semiconductors

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 190))

Abstract

By decreasing the size of semiconducting material the novel properties appear from the increased surface/bulk ratio and quantum confinement effects. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) can be applied to quantum dots and nanoparticles in-situ in the colloid, on the substrate or inside a solid matrix. The structural information about average size, phase composition, and growth orientation can be extracted from XAS along with information about electronic and magnetic properties of pure and doped nanostructures. In the chapter we shall describe the general properties of quantum dots and their applications that will help to understand the tasks for spectroscopy. Case studies will provide the information that is obtained from XAS complementary to other methods.
