Shape Control of Colloidal Semiconductor Nanocrystals
TLDR
The shape control of inorganic nanocrystals is important for understanding basic size-and shape-dependent scaling laws, and may be useful in a wide range of applications as mentioned in this paper, however, shape control methods are evolving rapidly.Abstract:
Shape control of inorganic nanocrystals is important for understanding basic size- and shape-dependent scaling laws, and may be useful in a wide range of applications. Methods for controlling the shapes of inorganic nanocrystals are evolving rapidly. This paper will focus on how we currently control the shape of semiconductor nanocrystals using CdSe as example.read more
