"Many materials in the form of well-defined nanoscale crystals (“nanocrystals”) exhibit unique properties due to size effects and large surface-to-volume ratios. Yet it is clear that the utilization of nanomaterials in modern technologies requires their integration into solid-state structures with programmable electronic, magnetic and optical properties. The clear challenge is the rational design ...

Great progress has been achieved over the last 20 years in the colloidal synthesis of semiconductor, metallic, and magnetic nanocrystals (NCs). The state-of-the-art synthetic approaches allow obtaining inorganic nanostructures with high degree of crystallinity and precisely engineered compositions, sizes, and morphologies, while solubility in nonpolar solvents provides remarkable processability of ...
