The current model for understanding trapping of charge carriers to the surface of semiconductor nanocrystals is inconsistent with experimental evidence indicating that carriers can thermally de-trap from surface sites. A proper understanding of the microscopic details of charge trapping would guide chemical design of the nanocrystal surface for applications such as charge transport, sensing, or photochemistry. This thesis presents a model of surface charge trapping in which transitions to surface state are governed by rates derived from semiclassical electron-transfer theory. In this picture, trapping to the surface induces a strong polarization in the nanocrystal, resulting in a trapped state with strong electron-phonon coupling via the...
