Figure 3. Differences in Optical Proprties

Caption

Though most SNPs were white, only those with an indium-to-tin ratio of 3:4 had a pale-yellow color and exhibited green photoluminescence under ultraviolet irradiation. These peculiar characteristics are thought to be caused by the concerted effects of size-miniaturization and elemental-hybridization.
