SHAPED NANOCRYSTAL PARTICLES AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Shaped nanocrystal particles (10) and methods for making shaped nanocrystal particles (10) are disclosed. One embodiment includes a method for forming a branched, nanocrystal particle (10). It includes (a) forming a core (12) having a first crystal structure in a solution, (b) forming a first arm (14a ) extending from the core having a second crystal structure in the solution, a nd (c) forming a second arm (14b) extending from the core (12) having the secon d crystal structure in the solution.
