Figure 5(a) in the original article showed the imaginary part of the dielectric function εI after normalization (red curve) toone at the peak maximum. However, the normalization was not mentioned in the main text. To allow quantitative interpretationof εI , the figure is updated below, and now plots the data against the correct right axis. The conclusions of the article remainunaffected.

FIG. 5. (Color online) (a) Comparison of μ and εI for typical PbSe Qdots. Inset: Difference δ (meV) between the spectral position of μ

and εI . [(b)–(d)] εI for three Qdot sizes (full lines) superimposed on bulk data (dots) in the case of PbS (b), PbSe (c), and PbTe (d) Qdots. Theexpansion of Qdot εI by bulk values (0–400 nm) is indicated by a gray zone.
