Abstract

Solid-state chemistry has been used to control both the size and the interconnection distance of small II-VI semiconductor moeities incorporated in zeolitic hosts with the sodalite-type structure. Structural characterization was carried out using X-ray Rietveld powder methods, and optical properties of these materials were also measured. These novel materials show quantum superlattice effects as evidenced by blue shifts in their optical absorption spectra.

5. Zeolite Y is structurally derived from sodalite units which are joined through double 6 rings, and this arrangement yields the formation of "Supercages" with diameters of 13Å, and pore opening of 8A. Like wise zeolite A is formed by sodalite units, that are joined through double 4 rings, while this arrangement gives rise to the formation of “α” with 4Å openings and 10Å. See Figure 1 for a description of the sodalite structure and for a complete introduction to zeolites see: Breck, D. W., Zeolit Molecular Sives, (John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1974).Google Scholar
