Driven by the search for new materials with interesting and unique properties and also by
the fundamental question of how atomic and molecular physical behaviour develops with …

Particles in the nanometer size range are attracting increasing attention with the growth of
interest in nanotechnological disciplines. Nanoparticles display fascinating electronic and …

The formation of extremely high aspect ratio CdSe nanorods (30: 1), as well as arrow-,
teardrop-, tetrapod-, and branched tetrapod-shaped nanocrystals of CdSe, has been …

Gold nanorods capped with micelles and having an aspect ratio of 2.0–5.4 are found to
fluoresce with a quantum yield which is over a million times that of the metal. For rods of the …

We report the preparation of highly monodisperse ZnO nanoparticles using poly (vinyl
pyrrolidone)(PVP) as the capping molecules. The surface-modified ZnO nanoparticles were …

The synthesis of II− VI semiconductor nanocrystals doped with transition metals has proved
to be particularly difficult. In the case of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) produced via high …

The interrelation between particle size, crystal structure and optical properties in
semiconductor quantum dots has elicited widespread interest. We report the first attempt at …

We report the synthesis of three sizes of thioglycerol-capped precipitated ZnS
nanocrystallites with relatively narrow size distributions, having average sizes of 1.8, 2.5 …

Nanoparticle research is still a rapidly growing field of science. Semiconductor nanocrystals
of a large variety of compositions have been prepared in exceedingly good quality. State-of …

CdTe nanocrystals capped with 1-mercapto-2, 3-propandiol, CdSe nanocrystals capped
with sodium citrate, and core− shell CdSe/CdS nanocrystals capped with sodium citrate …
