Semiconductors have been potential materials for device grade applications due
to their exceptional properties. In range of other compound semiconductors, II-VI's are
such compound semiconducting materials having cations from the Group II and anions
from Group VI of the periodic table. Keeping research and technological importance of
these materials, density functional theory (DFT) based study of II-VI semiconducting nanoclusters
was carried out and is described in this chapter.
Keywords: II-VI semiconductors, Density Functional Theory, Raman scattering.
