Résumé

We demonstrate that solution-phase semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) undergo photoinduced rotation in an external electric field. Present measurements backed by theoretical calculations show that the rotation of colloidal NCs is driven by the excited-state dipole moment, which is counterbalanced by the solvent viscosity drag. Corresponding angular velocities range from 0.5°/ns for cubic CsPbBr
