Abstract
We studied confinement effects in CdTe quantum dots by means of photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. We show that by changing the detection energy we can resolve the spectrum of quantum dots of different sizes inside their much broader size distribution in CdTe‐doped glass. The spectra obtained show several well‐resolved lines. There is excellent agreement between the photoluminescence excitation spectra peak energies and calculations of the confined energy transitions based on a modified multiband envelope function model.
