Key Points

The distribution of optical properties varies among cadmium sulfide nanoparticles with different ligands.
Findings reveal significant differences in electronic properties influenced by ligand type, emphasizing their role.
Many-body perturbation theory analysis explores the effects of surface ligands on nanoparticle excitations.
This study highlights implications for designing nanoparticles with tailored properties for technology applications.

Implication

Analysis shows optical and electronic properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles vary with ligands, suggesting surface modifications matter.

Abstract

We investigate using many-body perturbation theory the optical and electronic properties of neutral cadmium sulfide zincblende nanoparticles for which the surface is capped with bisulfide or alkylthiolate ligands, alone or...
