Precision nanosynthesis is essential for atomic engineering in nanostructures and for
mechanistic understanding of nanoscale reactions. However, emergent complexity in …

Here, we elucidate a double-lamellar-template pathway for the formation of CdSe quantum
belts. The lamellar templates form initially by dissolution of the CdX2 precursors in the n …

Conspectus Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are near-ideal nanomaterials for energy
conversion and lighting technologies. However, their photophysics exhibits supreme …

The size-dependent pressure response of oleate-stabilized CdSe quantum dots (QDs) in
paraffin is investigated using diamond anvil cell experiments and density functional theory …

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 …

We present an implementation of G 0 W 0 and eigenvalue-self-consistent GW (ev GW) in the
Gaussian and plane waves scheme for molecules. We calculate the correlation self-energy …

We examine in detail the impact of passivating ligands (ie, amines, phosphines, phosphine
oxides and pyridines) on the electronic and optical spectra of Cd33Se33 quantum dots …

Using first-principles simulations on PbS and CdSe colloidal quantum dots, we find that
surface defects form in response to electronic do** and charging of the nanoparticles. We …
