We review the synthesis of semiconductor nanocrystals/colloidal quantum dots in organic
solvents with special emphasis on earth-abundant and toxic heavy metal free compounds …

The successful transition of any nanocrystal-based product from the research phase to the
commercial arena hinges on the ability to produce the required nanomaterial on large …

The results of experimental studies on nanostructured silver sulfide are analyzed and
generalized. The influence of small particle size on nonstoichiometry of silver sulfide is …

Temperature sensing in biological media (cells, tissues, and living organisms) has become
essential in the development of the last generation of diagnostics and therapeutic strategies …

Optical probes operating in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II, 1,000-1,700 nm),
where tissues are highly transparent, have expanded the applicability of fluorescence in the …

Plasmonics, especially the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in non-noble metal
bismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs), and its spectral features and applications have stimulated …

In 1998, a monograph “Nanocrystalline Materials: Methods of Production and Properties” by
Gusev [1] was published in Ekaterinburg. The monograph became the first Russian and one …

Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets (NSs) possess extraordinary properties that are
attractive for both fundamental studies and technological devices. Solution-based “bottom …

Silver sulfide phases, such as body-centered cubic argentite and monoclinic acanthite, are
widely known. Traditionally, acanthite is regarded as the only low-temperature phase of …

Experimental results obtained in recent years on the synthesis, structure and properties of
nanostructured zinc sulfide are summarized and analyzed. The crystal polymorphs of zinc …
