Cadmium sulfide of small dimensions produced in inverted micelles

Abstract Inverted micelles are shown to be useful versatile systems for forming stable small (5 A radius) particles of CdS. The agglomeration number grows discontinuously, possibly obeying “magic agglomeration numbers”. The spectroscopic properties of these particles are studied as a parameter of radius and discussed in terms of aqueous CdS colloids and current colloid theory.
