Abstract

Chaos-like properties such as noise or fluctuations arising from quantum effects have recently investigated on a single barrier potential and on a one-dimensional periodic potential barrier. They used either the planewave of light or a wavepacket (pulse) passing through the potential barrier, demonstrating the chaos created by the bounded one-dimensional multibarrier potential (Bar and Horwitz, 2002; Hondou and Sawada, 1995), and proved it is an ordered and periodic phenomenon. Also another group demonstrated unexpected behavior of a dissipative particle in simple multiscale systems subject to chaotic noise and clarified the reason for the particular behavior because it is under a periodic potential (Chialvo et al., 1997). They concluded the occurrence of drift in a symmetric periodic potential would be expected to be a common feature of noise-driven systems. Essentially this effect is quite similar to the problem of a particle placed in a potential well of finite barrier (Cohen-Tannoudji et al., 1977) and the present issue of the photon distribution on a crystallite surface. When the crystallite size decreases to a few nanometers, the light absorption or photoluminescence in air moves to the direction of smaller wavelength, which is known as the blueshift (Kale and Lokhande, 2000; Nanda et al., 1999; Tsunekawa et al., 2003; Von Behren et al., 2000). The basic theory for this phenomenon is the quantum confinement effect (Andersen et al., 2002; Sharma et al., 2005). According to this theory the number of photons confined in each unit cell increases with the decreasing crystallite size. It is also said to enlarge the band gap between the valence band and the conduction band. Another approach is to take crystalline unit cells as numerical elements and employ different potential energies over a unit cell (Choi, 2007; Choi and Kim, 2007), realizing light intensity fluctuations. The effect of the film thickness on the blueshift was investigated by one of the authors (Choi and Pyun, 2008) about cellular crystalline surfaces with periodic potential, getting the blueshift numerically demonstrated in good agreement with experiments. In this paper we deal with surface nanostructures and try to prove the blueshift numerically by predicting the location of absorption wavelength. One of the best ways to uphold the present numerical method would be to demonstrate the blueshift phenomenon observed widely experimentally (Lu et al., 2008; Miyake et al., 1999; Tan et al., 2005; Tsunekawa et al., 2000). They demonstrated experimentally the dependence of the blueshift on the crystallite size for CeO and CdS. One of the authors has been studying this problem recently, publishing a few papers (Choi, 2007; Choi and Kim, 2007; Choi and Pyun, 2008), and this paper may be taken as an extension of these consecutive efforts. Another publication (Choi and Choi, 2009) predicting the blueshift with respect to the shell layer thickness has been already accomplished and led the present investigation to be made. 17
