Abstract

Nanometer size lead iodide particles have been synthesized in the porous network of a cross-linked polymer matrix. The optical band gap of the nanocrystals is shifted towards higher energy as compared to the bulk value. This shift is attributed to the quantum size effect on excitons. Intercalation with aniline leads to a further shift in the band gap which depends on the dipole moment of the intercalated guest species. Differential scanning calorimetry and high temperature x-ray diffraction have been used to analyze the ferroelectric transition in Pbl2.
