▪ Abstract Solution phase syntheses and size-selective separation methods to prepare
semiconductor and metal nanocrystals, tunable in size from∼ 1 to 20 nm and monodisperse …

Particles in the nanometer size range are attracting increasing attention with the growth of
interest in nanotechnological disciplines. Nanoparticles display fascinating electronic and …

Nano-is a big prefix-word. Much of contemporary chemistry focuses on small scale
structures, and indeed, molecular science is intrinsically on the nanometer scale. Selecting …

Nanostructured materials may be defined as those materials whose structural elements-
clusters, crystallites or molecules-have dimensions in the 1 to 100 nm range. The explosion …

Nanoparticles (NPs) are commonly referred to as “artificial atoms”, 1 as they can exhibit
atomic-like behaviors. The analogy is highlighted by a result that, just like atoms, electronic …

▪ Abstract Ordered arrays, or superlattices, of metallic, insulating, or semiconducting
quantum dots, represent an exciting new class of materials. These superlattices are often …

In this feature article, the methods of obtaining various mesostructures made of nanocrystals
are described. With silver and silver sulfide, the nanocrystals are able to self organize in 2D …

Nanocrystals prepared in organic media can be easily self-assembled into close-packed
hexagonal monolayers on solvent evaporation for various applications. However, they …

We observe the assembly of CdS nanorod superlattices by the combination of a DC electric
field and solvent evaporation. In each electric-field (1 V/μm) assisted assembly, CdS …

CdTe nanocrystals capped with 1-mercapto-2, 3-propandiol, CdSe nanocrystals capped
with sodium citrate, and core− shell CdSe/CdS nanocrystals capped with sodium citrate …
