We report the isotropic-liquid crystalline phase diagram of 3.0 nm x 60 nm CdSe nanorods dispersed in anhydrous cyclohexane. The coexistence concentrations of both phases are found to be lower and the biphasic region wider than the results predicted by the hard rod model, indicating that the attractive interaction between the nanorods may be important in the formation of the liquid crystalline phase in this system.

We report the results of P-31 NMR measurements on trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) passivated InP quantum dots. The spectra show distinct surface-capping sites, implying a manifold of crystal-ligand bonding configurations. Two In P-31 surface components are resolved and related to different electronic surroundings. With decreasing particle size the In P-31 core resonance reveals an increasing upfield chemical shift related to the overall size dependence of the InP electronic structure.

Porous silicon has been characterized by Si-29 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy under conditions of static samples, magic angle spinning, decoupling and cross polarization. In a free induction decay experiment, two Si-29 resonances at -80 and -111 ppm were obtained. Cross polarization resulted in a single resonance at -97 ppm. Magic angle spinning and decoupling slightly reduce the linewidth of the Si-29 cross polarized signal, The minor narrowing effect and thr relaxation behavior in the laboratory and rotating frame indicate a homogeneous contribution to the linewidth. The relaxation data suggest that the resonance observed under cross polarization conditions arises from SiH or SiH2 structural elements.

This paper describes the application of optically pumped xenon NMR to probe the surface of semiconductor nanocrystals by physisorption at 123 K. These experiments were made possible by using highly spin ordered Xe-129, prepared by optical pumping and spin exchange of a rubidium xenon gas mixture, to increase the NMR signal strength. CdS nanocrystals were prepared by regulated growth in inverse micelles and precipitated by surface derivatization with thiophenol. Nanocrystals of 11.8, 12.8, and 23 Angstrom radii with 26\%, 63\%, and 57\% thiophenol surface coverage, respectively, were characterized. Within this sample parameter space, the Xe-129 spectra, recorded at varying xenon coverages, depended strongly on thiophenol surface coverage but were not sensitive to the crystallite size. In addition, the nanocrystals with low thiophenol coverage yielded a xenon line shape consisting of two components, interpreted as xenon signals arising from distinct surface domains. These domains are presumably formed by the aggregation of thiophenol molecules on the nanocrystal surface when the thiophenol coverage is incomplete, a model which is consistent with existing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and liquid state H-1 NMR data.

H-1 NMR studies of thiophenol capping groups on cadmium sulfide nanocrystals demonstrate that the coverage of the capping molecule depends on the size of the nanocrystal. Data are presented which show that as the size of the nanocrystal increases, the coverage of thiophenol decreases. In addition, information about the overall tumbling of the nanocrystal and the motion of the capping groups relative to the surface can be obtained from linewidth studies, indicating that the rotation of the capping groups is hindered in the smaller nanocrystals (r almost-equal-to 12 angstrom) and becomes less so in larger nanocrystals (r almost-equal-to 20 angstrom). The coverage data are related to the electronic properties of this important class of compounds.
