Self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) into superstructures offers a flexible and
promising pathway to manipulate the nanometer-sized particles and thus make full use of …

Nanoparticle (NP) high pressure behavior has been extensively studied over the years. In
this review, we summarize recent progress on the studies of pressure induced NP phase …

Nanoparticle superlattices are periodic arrays of nanoscale inorganic building blocks
including metal nanoparticles, quantum dots and magnetic nanoparticles. Such assemblies …

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 …

Crystal phase, an intrinsic characteristic of crystalline materials, is one of the key parameters
to determine their physicochemical properties. Recently, great progress has been made in …

This work analyzes the role of hydrocarbon ligands in the self-assembly of nanocrystal (NC)
superlattices. Typical NCs, composed of an inorganic core of radius R and a layer of …

The self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles has made it possible to bridge the nanoscopic
and macroscopic worlds and to make complex nanostructures. The nanoparticle-mediated …

Epitaxially fused colloidal quantum dot (QD) superlattices (epi-SLs) may enable a new class
of semiconductors that combine the size-tunable photophysics of QDs with bulk-like …

Understanding self-assembly is a critical step toward controlling structure at the nanometer
length scale. Furthermore, small changes in nanoscale morphology can have large impacts …
