    spherically symmetric Type-II core/shell nanocrystals (NC) characterized by the core radius R and the shell width H, we use effective mass approximation. We assume the existence of single energy bands for both electrons and holes. This assumption represents simplification compared to multi-band models that explicitly take into account mixing between, e.g., different valence sub-bands.1 However, this simplified approach still allows us to capture essential trends of core- and shell-size…

CO2, one of the greenhouse gases produced in excess, was absorbed by the ocean, and the effects of this gas are devastating to marine life and their ecosystems. The CO2 produces carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of saltwater, and this in turn creates a harmful environment…

    protons are in the nucleus of the atom and the electrons fill shells surrounding the nucleus. The shells closest to the nucleus have the lowest energy level and the shells furthest away have the highest energy levels. The outermost shell with the highest energy level is called the valence shell. When molecules form the individual atoms typically want to fill its valence shell. For example helium is full with two electrons in its valence shell…
