Monodisperse Nanocrystals: Thermal Refinement for High-Performance Microlasers
Materials discovery is a central theme in science. The right material may solve grand challenges such as the energy problem or the colonization of other planets. Often this discovery of a new material occurs when scientists find conditions to stabilize new structural arrangements at the nano- or mesoscale. One versatile approach relies on artificial building blocks known as nanocrystals (NCs). NCs are nanometer-scale atomic crystals with size-tunable physical properties. Their hierarchical assembly into crystalline lattices, superlattices, has the potential to integrate orthogonal physical properties, such as photoluminescence and magnetism, unlocking a vast and unexplored design space for…
