This study reveals that the growth rate of colloidal CdSe nanocrystals negatively deviates from the prediction of the classic growth theory from thermodynamics as CdSe nanocrystals attain the magic closed-shell structure at around 1.8 nm. We have suggested that the negative deviation is the consequence of the chemical potential well generated from the closed-shell structure of nanocrystals.
