Brus equation emission energy Δ"E" = "hc"/λ, where c is the speed of light). This is useful for calculating the radius of a quantum dot from experimentally determined parameters. The overall equation is "E", "m"*, and "m"* are unique for each nanocrystal composition. For example, with CdSe nanocrystals: Brus equation The Brus equation can be used to describe the emission energy of quantum dot semiconductor nanocrystals (such as CdSe nanocrystals) in terms of the band gap energy "E", Planck's constant "h", the radius of the quantum dot "r", as well as the effective mass of the excited electron "m"* and of the
Lamm equation Lamm equation The Lamm equation describes the sedimentation and diffusion of a solute under ultracentrifugation in traditional sector-shaped cells. (Cells of other shapes require much more complex equations.) It was named after Ole Lamm, later professor of physical chemistry at the Royal Institute of Technology, who derived it during his Ph.D. studies under Svedberg at Uppsala University. The Lamm equation can be written: where "c" is the solute concentration, "t" and "r" are the time and radius, and the parameters "D", "s", and "ω" represent the solute diffusion constant, sedimentation coefficient and the rotor angular velocity, respectively. The first and
