Preparation and Characterization of Mesoscale Single Crystals
"It is expected that such bulk single crystals will enable fundamental understanding and control of emergent mesostructure-based properties in block-copolymer-directed metal, semiconductor, and superconductor materials."
Fabricating, Characterizing and Understanding Nanocrystal Superstructures
"Nanocrystals are perfect periodic arrangements of atoms that only extend a few tens of nanometers in any direction and exhibit unique electronic, optic and/or magnetic characteristics "
