True!
But in this case, it doesn't depend on the nanocrystal size since the emission comes from the manganese dopants, not the ZnSe host nanocrystal.

Its not bcoz they r small and hence reflect ultraviolet light. But its their flouroscence involving the recombinations of exciton after being formed by UV light. The emitted light is in visible range, so u see the different light depending on the nanocrystal size..!!

Great video. As an Arkansas physics alumni, it's good to see such fun things going on at the university.
I suggest you license this Creative Commons, as it would be fun to remix it into other videos.

harmmany214: You are right. Se is toxic. But it's also a vitamin sold over-the-counter. Cd is not a vitamin sold over-the-counter. I suppose I'm saying that Se is far less toxic than Cd. But good point anyways.

wow... nanocrystals, eh? Meaning, basically, the crystals are too small to reflect light waves which are larger than ultraviolet light? Or what?

What.
No really, you're right. They are smaller than the wavelength of visible light. In fact, they're smaller than the wavelenght of UV light also. They're only 5 to 8 nanometers in diameter. That's why the colloidal solution is clear, but they still glow bright yellow when excited by UV or near-UV light.
