TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the fabrication and application of hybrid bulk heterojunction photodiodes containing PbS nanocrystalline quantum dots as sensitizers for near-infrared detection up to 1.8 µm.

TL;DR: Various oleic acid salts are demonstrated to act as stabilizers for high-quality iron oxide nanocrystals, synthesized by thermal decomposition of ferric oleate, with different degrees of dissociation at high temperatures to be obtained.

TL;DR: A convenient, aqueous-based synthesis of stable HgTe nanocrystals with widely size-tunable room temperature emission between wavelengths of 1.2 to 3.7 mum is demonstrated and the use of mercaptoethylamine as initial stabilizer is greatly improved.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the addition of lithium silylamide might generally promote wet-chemical synthesis of metal chalcogenide nanocrystals, including in as-yet unexplored materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an understanding of the beneficial surface modifications by plasma and a model based on short range low temperature diffusion through bonding experiments combined with results from spectroscopic ellipsometry, depth resolving Auger electron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy measurements.
