TL;DR: In this article, a self-assembled multilayers of magnetic FePt nanoparticles were studied using a vibrating sample magnetometer combined with XRD and near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, a general procedure to prepare uniform gold-based bimetallic nanocrystals (NCs) is reported, which relies on a seed-mediated approach in which deposition and in-situ alloying of a second metal (Ag, Pt, Hg, Sn, Cd) onto monodisperse Au seeds are performed at relatively high temperatures.

TL;DR: The fabrication of new mechanochromic micrometer-size capsules enabling the detection of strains and can be used to detect and measure strain in polymer films by outputting color information.

TL;DR: In this article, a high temperature non-aqueous synthetic procedure for the preparation of substantially monodisperse IV-VI semiconductor nanoparticles is provided, which includes introducing a first precursor selected from the group consisting of a molecular precursor of a Group IV element and a molecular pre-group VI element into a reaction vessel that comprises at least an organic solvent to form a mixture.

TL;DR: Quasi-quaternary nanocrystal superlattices are assembled by using exclusively core-shell particles as building blocks and show an enhancement of energy-transfer from cadmium selenide-based core-Shell quantum dots to gold-iron oxide core- shell nanocrystals compared to random mixtures of the same components.
