Coulomb repulsion due to the surface charge on semi-conductor nanorods works against the dipole–dipole attraction that tends to direct the nanorods to self-assemble; the nature of this self-assembly for CdSe nanorods can ...
High yields of single-crystalline silicon nanowires and germanium/silicon oxide core-shell nanostructures were synthesized using a supercritical fluid-solid-solid growth mechanism. The formation of the one-dimensional ...
Gold tip size and multiplicity is controlled in hybrid gold-semiconductor nanorods (CdS-Au, CdSe-Au and CdTe-Au) in fast reaction times of less than 2 minutes by optimising precursor type, concentration, and temperature. ...
