Magic-sized nanoclusters have gained tremendous attention from researchers as they offer
applicability in a variety of fields ranging from chemistry and physics to electronics. The first …

The transformation of colloidal semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs) from zinc to
cadmium chalcogenide (ZnE to CdE) at low temperatures has received scant attention …

Magic-sized clusters (MSCs) of semiconductor are typically defined as specific molecular-
scale arrangements of atoms that exhibit enhanced stability. They often grow in discrete …

The evolution of prenucleation clusters in the prenucleation stage of colloidal semiconductor
quantum dots (QDs) has remained unexplored. With CdTe as a model system, we show that …

Atomically defined, zero-dimensional magic-size clusters play pivotal roles in the nucleation
and growth of semiconductor nanocrystals. Thus, they provide new opportunities to …

The quest for atomically precise synthesis of colloidal semiconductor nanostructures has
attracted increasing attention in recent years and remains a formidable challenge …

Alloy semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs) have received scant attention and little is
known about their formation pathway. Here, we report the synthesis of alloy CdTeSe MSC …

Precursor compounds (PCs) link quantum dots (QDs) and magic-sized clusters (MSCs),
which is pivotal in the conversion between QDs and MSCs. Here, for the first time, we report …

The excessive consumption of fossil fuels has caused a severe energy shortage, and the
large amount of CO2 released during the combustion process has disrupted the carbon …

Magic-size clusters are ultrasmall, transient species that appear early during semiconductor
nanocrystal growth and have been assigned to stoichiometrically and geometrically well …
