In the past decade, colloidal solutions have been assumed to be very efficient templates for
controlling particle size and shape. A large number of groups have used reverse micelles to …

An overview of dynamic self-organization phenomena in complex ionized gas systems,
associated physical phenomena, and industrial applications is presented. The most recent …

The physical properties of metals change when their dimensions are reduced to the nano-
scale and new phenomena such as the localized surface-plasmon resonance (LSPR) …

The following sections are included: Self-organized Plasma-Particle States Dust-plasma
sheath as a self-organized structure Dust voids: observations and main mechanisms …

In this review, we show that chemical reduction in colloidal assemblies favors the formation
of size-and shape-controlled metallic nanoparticles. The key parameters that make possible …

We report the synthesis and characterization of well-defined CoPt clusters with a mean
diameter of 3 nm, produced in ultrahigh vacuum conditions following a physical route …

An overview of X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy in the hard X-ray
range is presented. A short historical overview shows how this technique has evolved from …

In this paper we demonstrate that reverse micelles make possible the homogeneous growth
of nuclei to nanocrystals with similar shapes. Furthermore, hydrazine increases the relative …

Copper nanocrystals with plate‐like morphologies and face‐centered cubic (fcc) structures
have been synthesized in mixed reverse micelles with a large excess of reducing agent …

We investigate the origin of the band at 3.31 eV (A band) commonly observed in the
emission spectra of various ZnO samples. This band is of prime importance for the …
