TL;DR: In this paper, a colloidal wet-chemical approach enabling control on dopant concentration and location in a nanocrystal host lattice was proposed to investigate the impact of nitrogen impurities on the optoelectronic properties.

TL;DR: An empirical law is proposed for the determination of the crystallographic attachment orientation in heterodimers: instead of growth on the facet of the seed Nanocrystals where lattice mismatch is minimized, the growth of an epitaxial material often chooses the crystal facets where the first atomic monolayer of this material has the strongest affinity for the seed nanocrystals.

TL;DR: It is found that cationic NC surfaces are transiently stabilized post-stripping by physisorbed anionic species that arise from the reaction of BF3 with native ligands, which allows polar dispersants to reach the NC surface before cation desorption can occur.

TL;DR: The analysis indicates that ligand-coupling symmetry and binding mechanisms correlate with enhanced conductivity approaching 2000 S/cm, and this concept is employed to demonstrate among the highest power factors measured for quantum-dot based thermoelectric inorganic-organic composite materials of ∼ 30 μW/m · K(2).
