Using the first-principles band structure method, the electronic properties and optical properties of cupric iodide (Cul) quantum dots (QDs) are studied for the first time. A model is proposed to passivate the surface atoms of CuI QDs. In this model, pseudohydrogen atoms are used to passivate the dangling surface bonds, which remove the localized in-gap surface states. The size dependence of the QD gaps is obtained and is found to evolve as ΔE8 = 1.60/d0.84 as the effective diameter d decreases. The energy of the calculated absorption peak is shifted higher with the decreasing d and the full width at half-maximum of the peak becomes larger as d increases, which are in good agreement with previous experiments. It is confirmed, although the local density approximation (LDA) calculations underestimate the band gap, that they give the trend of band gap shift as much as that obtained by the hybrid PBE0 for Cul QDs. These results provide understanding of the effects of the dimensionality of CuI nanocrystals, and it is expected that the method used in this work will be a practical approach to the study of other I―VII semiconductor nanocrystals.
