Abstract
One of the main interests of current research in science is the understanding and the engineering of condensed matter at low dimensions. Low dimensional materials lie between bulk matter and molecular and atomic sizes, in a size scale of nanometers. Materials in this regime exhibit novel physical and chemical properties. Research devoted to this field is interdisciplinary, covering physics, chemistry, biology, and many areas of technological interest.
Among these materials, semiconductors are nowadays the most investigated, mainly because they are greatly affected by the consequences of low dimensionality. The aim of this thesis is to give a contribution to the existing preparation techniques for colloidal nanocrystals, in particular of II-VI semiconductors. Research in this area is intense, but much has still to be done, as we will be able to understand when the discussion will proceed through the next chapters...
