Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The post-preparative irradiation of water-soluble thiol-stabilized ZnSe colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) leads to a strong increase of the photoluminescence quantum yield of UV blue emission. The altered photoluminescence properties of the colloidal samples have been explained previously by changes in particle composition, size, and surface modification accompanying irradiation. In this work, the charge carrier dynamics in NCs before and after irradiation treatment has been examined via femtosecond transient absorbance spectroscopy in the UV-visible spectral region. Upon adsorption of the electron acceptor methylviologen (MV), an ultrafast heterogeneous electron transfer from the conduction band of the nanocrystals to M+ is observed and studied. Therefore, the employment of the MV helps to assign the observed dynamics to electron or hole relaxation processes. It is shown that a ZnSe/ZnS core/shell structure is formed during the post-preparative treatment. The transient absorbance measurements of the MV/NC system indicate that the formation of a shell results in the confinement of the hole to the core, while the electron is still delocalized throughout the entire core/shell structure. The confinement of the hole to the core also explains the strong increase of the photoluminescence quantum yield and the photostability of the NCs after post-preparative irradiation. © 2008 American Chemical Society.
