N2 - Nanoparticles of II-VI and III-V semiconductor materials are a subject of growing theoretical interest arising from their high potential of practical applications. However in order that these materials will be of practical value in lasers, nonlinear optics, biological markers and sensors for biological and environmental impurities the highly reactive species have to be incorporated in an inert, stable, transparent medium. We present the theory of nano-particles with emphasize of quantum size effect. Preparation of a number of semiconductor particles and rods in different inorganic, organic and inorganic-organic hybrid matrices are presented. The practical results of optical properties as well as electrical conductivity of a number of materials are discussed. The characterization of the materials by absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, XRD, EDAX, SEM, TEM, and AFM are presented Electrical measurements were performed. A number of applications of the new materials proposed.
