TL;DR: It is reported that wurtzite ZnSe nanorod couples connected by twinning structures can be synthesized by means of a self-limited assembly process, leading to low photoluminescence polarization anisotropy and an ideal system for the investigation of electronic coupling effects between individual nan orod components on the nanoscale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the utility of mechanical rubbing for macroscopic scale alignment of colloidal semiconductor nanorods, exhibiting linearly polarized emission, are aligned by mechanical rubbing of a spin-coated glass substrate, the dragging force exerted by the rubbing fibers results in deflection and reorientation of the NRs along the rubbing direction.

TL;DR: In this article, a post-synthesis diffusion-based doping method for introducing Cu impurities into InAs quantum dots was proposed. And the concentration dependence was investigated for a wide range of doping levels, helping to derive a self-consistent picture where the Cu impurity occupied an interstitial site within the InAs lattice.

TL;DR: A postsynthesis diffusion-based doping reaction is used to introduce Ag impurities into InAs NCs and the resulting structural model describes a heterogeneous system where the impurities initially dope the NC, by substituting for In atoms near the surface of theNC, until the "solubility limit" is reached, after which the rapid growth and formation of metallic structures are identified.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a post-synthesis room-temperature reaction between AuCl3 and InAs nanocrystals (NCs) to form metal-semiconductor core-shell hybrid NPs through the reversed Kirkendall effect.
