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
Price equation enough information into the parameters used by the Price equation to allow the calculation of the parameters for all subsequent generations. This property is referred to as dynamical sufficiency. For simplicity, the following looks at dynamical sufficiency for the simple Price equation, but is also valid for the full Price equation. Referring to the definition in Equation (2), the simple Price equation for the character "z" can be written: For the second generation: The simple Price equation for "z" only gives us the value of "z" ' for the first generation, but does not give us the value of "w"
