Diameter distribution by deconvolution (DdD): Absorption spectra as a practical tool for semiconductor nanoparticle PSD determination

Semiconductor nanoparticles (SNPs) are excellent candidates for various applications in fields like solar cells, light emitting diodes or sensors. Their size strongly determines their properties, thus characterizing their size is crucial for applications. In most cases, they are included in complex...
