| Using a pseudopotential approach, the present study focuses on the effects of quantum confinement on physical properties of zinc-blende ZnTe spherical quantum dots. The size dependence of all features being considered here has been analyzed and discussed. Our results show that the effects of quantum confinement change the physical properties of nanostructured ZnTe dramatically relative to the bulk values. This provided with the possibility for obtaining new physical properties that was not provided by the bulk material. |
