Self‐assembly of nanoparticles (NPs) has evolved into a powerful tool for the synthesis of
superstructures with tailored properties. The quality, diversity, and complexity of synthesized …

The assembly of (nano) particles into compact hierarchical structures yields emergent
properties not found in the individual constituents. The formation of these structures relies on …

The synthesis of binary nanocrystal superlattices (BNSLs) enables the targeted integration
of orthogonal physical properties, such as photoluminescence and magnetism, into a single …

Charge carrier transport in colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solids is strongly influenced by
coupling among CQDs. The shape of as‐synthesized CQDs results in random orientational …

Plasmonic nanoparticle assemblies are promising functional materials for surface‐
enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Gold nanorod (AuNR) assemblies are of particular …

Colloidal assemblies have applications as photonic crystals and templates for functional
porous materials. While there has been significant progress in controlling colloidal …

Nanocrystal (NC) self-assembly is a versatile platform for materials engineering at the
mesoscale. The NC shape anisotropy leads to structures not observed with spherical NCs …

Self-assembled binary nanocrystal superlattices (BNSLs) represent an important class of
solid-state materials with potentially designed properties. In pursuit of widening the range of …

Whispering-gallery microresonators have the potential to become the building blocks for
optical circuits. However, encoding information in an optical signal requires on-demand …

The substrate roughness is a very important parameter that can influence the properties of
supported thin films. In this work, we investigate the effect of surface roughness on the …
