Squeezed nanocrystals: A new model predicts their shape
Scientific Achievement In a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory and Northeastern University, scientists have developed a model for predicting the shape of metal nanocrystals or "islands" sandwiched between or below two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene. The advance moves 2D quantum materials a step closer to applications in electronics. Significance and Impact The structures and shapes of functional nanocrystals (NCs) are key to determining their… Read More »
