We have explored the optical properties of bilayers of Mercury telluride (HgTe) nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in polymer which were prepared from a colloidal solution. These NCs show strong luminescence in the near infrared at room temperature, which makes them an interesting material for the telecommunication area. The emission wavelength can efficiently be tuned by controlling the size of the NCs. We report spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements, which clearly show an energy shift of the critical points (CPs) in the dielectric function to higher energies compared to the HgTe bulk properties. This is caused by quantum confinement in the crystals. The exact peak energies of the transitions are fitted with line-shape models for CPs. Surprisingly, concepts coming from semiconductor bulk optics, as CPs, can be applied to NCs with a diameter of less than 5 unit cells. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
