Nanoscience and nanotechnology are recent revolutionary developments of science and
engineering that are evolving at a very fast pace. They are driven by the desire to fabricate …

This paper reviews techniques currently available for size-and shape-selective purification
of nanoscopic objects. The methods discussed range from variants of familiar …

Metal combustion has received renewed interest largely as a result of the ability to produce
and characterize metallic nanoparticles. Much of the highly desirable traits of nanosized …

Electrostatic forces are amongst the most versatile interactions to mediate the assembly of
nanostructured materials. Depending on experimental conditions, these forces can be long …

In traditional photoconductors,,, the impinging light generates mobile charge carriers in the
valence and/or conduction bands, causing the material's conductivity to increase. Such …

Self-assembly of nanoparticles has emerged as a powerful technique to integrate
nanoparticles into well-defined ensembles with collective properties that are different from …

A micelle‐like hybrid natural–artificial light‐harvesting nanosystem was prepared through
protein‐framed electrostatic self‐assembly of phycocyanin and a four‐armed porphyrin star …

Low-polydispersity copper nanoparticles (NPs) and nanorods (NRs) were synthesized by
thermal decomposition of copper (II) acetylacetonate precursors in the presence of …

The current state of the art in the use of colloidal methods to form nanoparticle assemblies,
or clusters (NPCs) is reviewed. The focus is on the two‐step approach, which exploits the …

Abstract Scattering efficiencies of Ag–Cu, Ag–Au, and Au–Cu alloy nanoparticles are
studied based on Mie theory for their possible applications in solar cells. The effect of size …
