In this review, we briefly summarize the history of mesocrystal research. We introduce the
current structural definition of mesocrystals and discuss the appropriate base for the …

Nonclassical crystallization (NCC) summarizes a number of crystallization pathways, which
differ from the classical layer-by-layer growth of crystals involving atomic/molecular building …

Understanding the assembly of nanoparticles into superlattices with well-defined
morphology and structure is technologically important but challenging as it requires novel …

Understanding and controlling defect formation during the assembly of nanoparticles is
crucial for fabrication of self-assembled nanostructured materials with predictable properties …

Phonon engineering of solids enables the creation of materials with tailored heat-transfer
properties, controlled elastic and acoustic vibration propagation, and custom phonon …

At the surface of iron oxide nanoparticles, an oxidized or disordered layer is often found.
Due to the large surface-to-volume ratio of nanomaterials, such a surface layer plays an …

Nanoparticle assemblies with long-range packing order and preferred crystallographic
orientation of building blocks, ie, mesocrystals, are of high interest not only because of their …

Supercrystals (SCs) offer the opportunity to integrate nanoparticles into current technologies
without losing their unique and designable properties. In the past two decades, much …

Controlling the morphology and crystallographic coherence of assemblies of magnetic
nanoparticles is a promising route to functional materials. Time-resolved small-angle X-ray …
