Plasmonic nanostructures possessing unique and versatile optoelectronic properties have
been vastly investigated over the past decade. However, the full potential of plasmonic …

Chemical methods developed over the past two decades enable preparation of colloidal
nanocrystals with uniform size and shape. These Brownian objects readily order into …

Atomically defined assemblies of dye molecules (such as H and J aggregates) have been of
interest for more than 80 years because of the emergence of collective phenomena in their …

This review captures the synthesis, assembly, properties, and applications of copper
chalcogenide NCs, which have achieved significant research interest in the last decade due …

Nanoparticles exist far from the equilibrium state due to their high surface energy.
Nanoparticles are therefore extremely unstable and easily change themselves or react with …

The simplicity of hard spheres as a model system is deceptive. Although the particles
interact solely through volume exclusion, that nevertheless suffices for a wealth of static and …

Oriented attachment of PbSe nanocubes can result in the formation of two-dimensional (2D)
superstructures with long-range nanoscale and atomic order,. This questions the …

Self-assembly of molecular units into complex and functional superstructures is ubiquitous in
biology. The number of superstructures realized by self-assembly of man-made nanoscale …

Conspectus Intuitively, chemists see crystals grow atom-by-atom or molecule-by-molecule,
very much like a mason builds a wall, brick by brick. It is much more difficult to grasp that …

Volume 15 of the Handbook on the Properties of Magnetic Materials, as the preceding
volumes, has a dual purpose. As a textbook it is intended to be of assistance to those who …
