Amorphous selenium (a-Se) is a large-area compatible photoconductor that has received
significant attention toward the development of UV and X-ray detectors for a wide range of …

Multimetallic clusters can be described as building blocks in intermetallics, compounds
prepared from all metals and/or semi-metals, and in Zintl phases, a subset of intermetallics …

Colloidal germanium (Ge) nanocrystals (NCs) are of great interest with possible applications
for photovoltaics and near-IR detectors. In many examples of colloidal reactions, Ge (II) …

Traditional binders and conductive agents are important electrode additives that contribute
to the mechanical integrity and conductivity of sodium ion batteries (SIBs), but they affect the …

In this study, we report the growth and characterization of high-quality SiGe/SiO2 core–shell
nanocrystals on an insulator. Our approach involves the solid-state dewetting of a …

X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy is sparsely employed in characterizing
nanomaterials as opposed to bulk materials, primarily due to the dominating surface atoms …

Herein, we elucidate the key role of amine surfactants in the controlled anisotropic growth of
ZnO nanoparticles that is achieved under mild conditions by organometallic hydrolysis. The …

Microwave-assisted heating methods have been used to synthesize oleylamine-capped
Ge1–x Sn x nanocrystals. By varying the reaction temperature while keeping the Ge and Sn …

Colloidally synthesized nanocrystals (NCs) play important roles in research studies and
industry. Nanotechnology as a field of research has provided new materials for various …
