This chapter gives an overview of nanoparticle superlattices (NSLs) research mainly from the last decade focusing on NSLs made from 1 to 20 nm nanoparticles in a size range where electronic, magnetic, and optical properties are prominent. Nanostructured and nanopatterned materials have multiple uses in technological applications and in many research areas due to the functional properties arising from the nanoscale features. The combination of nanoparticles in a crystal lattice results in interesting properties. The materials based on NSLs can have properties greater than the expected sum of those of its individual nanoparticle components pointing towards the opportunity of new functional bottom-up materials. The assembly of nanoparticles into NSLs in the commonly used solvent evaporation and the destabilization process is a crystallization reaction, which is determined by nucleation and growth processes. Nanoparticles are the fundamental building blocks and are essential for the functional properties of NSLs in various nanotechnology applications.

Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of nanoparticle superlattices (NSLs) research mainly from the last decade focusing on NSLs made from 1 to 20 nm nanoparticles in a size range where electronic, magnetic, and optical properties are prominent. Nanostructured and nanopatterned materials have multiple uses in technological applications and in many research areas due to the functional properties arising from the nanoscale features. The combination of nanoparticles in a crystal lattice results in interesting properties. The materials based on NSLs can have properties greater than the expected sum of those of its individual nanoparticle components pointing towards the opportunity of new functional bottom-up materials. The assembly of nanoparticles into NSLs in the commonly used solvent evaporation and the destabilization process is a crystallization reaction, which is determined by nucleation and growth processes. Nanoparticles are the fundamental building blocks and are essential for the functional properties of NSLs in various nanotechnology applications.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
