Phase has emerged as an important structural parameter—in addition to composition,
morphology, architecture, facet, size and dimensionality—that determines the properties and …

Nanoparticle (NP) high pressure behavior has been extensively studied over the years. In
this review, we summarize recent progress on the studies of pressure induced NP phase …

We present an overview of the onetep program for linear-scaling density functional theory
(DFT) calculations with large basis set (plane-wave) accuracy on parallel computers. The …

Gradient nanostructures are attracting considerable interest due to their potential to obtain
superior structural and functional properties of materials. Applying powerful laser-driven …

Analysis of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) can yield local structural
information in magic size clusters even when other structural methods (such as X-ray …

Germanium, the prime applied semiconductor, is widely used in solid‐state electronics and
photoelectronics. Unfortunately, since the 3D diamond‐like structure with strong covalent …

In this work, we developed a chemical synthesis protocol to prepare both spherical and rod
shaped YbH x nanoparticles and infiltrate a mesoporous CMK-3 structure with YbH x …

The reduction of Ge halides in oleylamine (OAm) provides a simple, yet effective high-yield
synthetic route to germanium nanocrystals (NCs). Significant advances based on this …

In this work we present new analytical (ie, without computer modeling) method for
calculating the dependence of the nanocrystal melting temperature both on pressure and on …

Magic-size clusters are ultra-small colloidal semiconductor systems that are intensively
studied due to their monodisperse nature and sharp UV-vis absorption peak compared with …
