Abstract

Semiconductor clusters with sizes of a few to hundreds of Å, covering the entire range from molecular to bulk, have been prepared within polymer films. For PbS, the band-gap shifts to higher energy as the cluster size decreases and eventually converges to the transition energy of the first excited state of PbS molecule. The observed dependence of band-gap on cluster size can be explained by a tightbinding model that takes into account the effects of band nonparabolicity. These semiconductor-doped polymers represent a new class of nonlinear optical materials. Here we present the nonlinear optical properties of polymer films doped with 50 A CdS and discuss the possible mechanisms.
