Researchers build structured, multi-part nanocrystals with super light-emitting properties
E-Mail IMAGE: Researchers combined perovskite nanocubes - tiny crystals with useful electrical or optical properties - with spherical nanoparticles to form a regular, repeating structure called a superlattice. Some of these structures... view more Credit: Image courtesy of Maksym Kovalenko and Ihor Cherniukh/ETH Zürich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology AMES, Iowa - Researchers have developed new types of materials that combines two or three types of nanoparticles into structures that display fundamental new properties such as superfluorescence. "The whole goal of this re...
