Electrochromic devices, which dynamically change colour under applied potential, are
widely studied for use in energy-efficient smart windows. To improve the viability of smart …

Localized surface plasmon absorption features arise at high do** levels in semiconductor
nanocrystals, appearing in the near-infrared range. Here we show that the surface plasmons …

Synthetic control over inorganic nanocrystals has made dramatic strides so that a great
number of binary and a few ternary or more complex compounds can now be prepared with …

Metal oxides, when electronically doped with oxygen vacancies, aliovalent dopants, or
interstitial dopants, can exhibit metallic behavior due to the stabilization of a substantial …

Plasmonic nanocrystals of highly doped metal oxides have seen rapid development in the
past decade and represent a class of materials with unique optoelectronic properties. In this …
