Nanoparticles of noble metals belong to the most extensively studied colloidal systems in
the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Due to continuing progress in the synthesis of …

The properties and some key applications of solvents such as (1) supercritical fluids
(SCFs),(2) gas-expanded liquids (GXLs) and organic-aqueous tunable solvents (OATS),(3) …

Being able to predict and tune the colloidal stability of nanoparticles is essential for a wide
range of applications, yet our ability to do so is currently poor due to a lack of understanding …

Self-organization of nanoparticles into two-and three-dimensional superlattices on a large
scale is required for their implementation into nano-or microelectronic devices,. This is …

The prospect of designing novel materials with electrical, optical, and magnetic properties by
design has intrigued scientists and engineers for years. Building blocks for such “artificial …

Binary superlattices (BSLs) of sterically stabilized, hydrophobic, large (A; 11.5 nm diameter)
Fe2O3 and small (B; 6.1 nm diameter) Au nanocrystals were assembled by slow …

Inorganic nanoparticle cores are often coated with organic ligands to render them
dispersible in apolar solvents. However, the effect of the ligand shell on the colloidal stability …

This paper addresses the assembly of body centered-cubic (bcc) superlattices of organic
ligand-coated nanocrystals. First, examples of bcc superlattices of dodecanethiol-capped Au …

Self-assembly of nanocrystals into functional materials requires precise control over
nanoparticle interactions in solution that are dominated by organic ligands that densely …

Liquid− liquid phase transfer has been used to synthesize platinum nanocrystals with a
cubic morphology. By finely tuning the parameters controlling the nucleation and growth …
