TL;DR: The advances in synthesis, assembly, ligand treatments and doping that have enabled high-mobility QD solids, as well as the experiments and theory that depict band-like transport in the QD solid state are reviewed.

TL;DR: A coherent field of study is currently emerging for the systematic examination of nanocrystal oxides with the aim of producing nanoparticles with narrow size distributions and size tunability in the nanoscale regime.

TL;DR: An avoided crossing around the spin orbit energy in the hole spectra for ∼65 A dots is observed, indicating the importance of valence band complexities in the description of the excited states.

TL;DR: A one-pot chemical approach for the synthesis of highly monodisperse colloidal nanophosphors displaying bright upconversion luminescence under 980 nm excitation and an interfacial assembly strategy to organize these nanocrystals into superlattices over multiple length scales facilitating the NC characterization and enabling systematic studies of shape-directed assembly are reported.

TL;DR: These studies unambiguously demonstrate the abilities of facet-selective binding peptides in determining nanocrystal shape, representing a critical step forward in the use of biomolecules for programmable synthesis of nanostructures.
