Conspectus Biominerals are unique materials found in many living organisms that often
display outstanding functionalities attributed to their mesocrystalline structure. Mesocrystals …

Iron oxide compounds have naturally formed during the whole of Earth's history. Synthetic
compositions with iron oxides are produced with the use of various techniques and widely …

The growth of superlattices (SLs) made from self-assembled nanocrystals (NCs) is a
powerful method for creating new materials and gaining insight into fundamental molecular …

Nanoparticle assemblies with long-range packing order and preferred crystallographic
orientation of building blocks, ie, mesocrystals, are of high interest not only because of their …

Binary mesocrystals offer the combination of nanocrystal properties in an ordered
superstructure. Here, we demonstrate the simultaneous self‐assembly of platinum and iron …

Heterogeneous nucleation processes are involved in many important phenomena in nature,
including devastating human diseases caused by amyloid structures or the harmful frost …

The self‐assembly of anisotropic nanocrystals (stabilized by organic capping molecules)
with pre‐selected composition, size, and shape allows for the creation of nanostructured …

Mesocrystals are a class of nanostructured material, where a multiple‐length‐scale structure
is a prerequisite of many interesting phenomena. Resolving the mesocrystal structure is …

Colloidal crystals are arguably one of the most promising candidates when it comes to the
fabrication of nanostructured metamaterials. Especially mesocrystals show exciting new …

Mesocrystal with aligned small grains is an important type of block in building high
performance artificial bulk materials. But it is difficult to obtain mesocrystal particles without …
