Influence of the anderson transition on the energy-level spectra of an ensemble of closely packed nanocrystals

The possibility of the Anderson transition in an ensemble of closely packed monodisperse nanocrystals is mathematically substantiated. Results of a statistical analysis of the dependence of the number of delocalized electronic states on the nanocrystal concentration are reported. Conclusions are drawn about the influence of the Anderson transition on the optical spectra of the given system.
