This communication describes a facile and mild chemical etching method for resizing of CdTe nanocrystals, which provides a possible approach for tailoring the size-dependent properties of the nanocrystals.

ZnO and ZnO: Mn nanocrystals were synthesized via reverse micelle method. The structural properties of nanocrystals were investigated by XRD. The XRD results indicated that the synthesized nanocrystals had a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. Resistive gas sensors were fabricated by providing ohmic contacts on the tablet obtained from compressed nanocrystals powder and the installation ...

We report white-light-emitting Mn-doped ZnSe nanocrystals (NCs) that are synthesized using modified nucleation doping strategy. Tailoring three distinct emission mechanisms in these NCs, which are MnSe-related blue emission (410 and 435 nm), Zn-related defect state green emission (520 nm), and Mn-dopant related orange emission (580 nm), allowed us to achieve excitation wavelength tailorable whi...

atorvastatin calcium, the lipid lowering agent, is taken as a model drug characterized by poor water solubility and bioavailability. in this study an attempt was made for preparation of nanocrystals using high pressure homogenization. a number of stabilizers were included as well as polymers at different concentrations, and the formulations were homogenized for ten cycles at a pressure of 1000 ...

In this study, colloidal germanium nanocrystals were synthesized by a simple and novel method, and their optical properties were also studied. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a surface modifier was used to control the optical properties of colloidal Ge nanocrystals. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was performed to identify the various functional groups present in the sample. ...

AgGaS2 (AGS) nanocrystals that exist in the orthorhombic phase were successfully prepared for the first time through a one-pot colloidal synthetic strategy using suitable coordinating solvents. These orthorhombic AGS nanocrystals were found to display great potential in visible-light-driven photocatalysis.

titanium dioxide nanocrystals were synthesized by sol-gel method at room temperature. titanium isoprophoxide and absolute ethanol were used as precursors to prepare the sol. the ph of the solution was adjusted by adding nitric acid and sodium hydroxide solution. the prepared tio2 nanocrystals were annealed at 325°c, 425°c and 525°c respectively. the effect of ph on the surface morphology and st...
