AA-stacked graphite shows strong anisotropy in geometric structures and velocity matrix elements. However, the absorption spectra are isotropic for the polarization vector on the graphene plane. The spectra exhibit one prominent plateau at middle energy and one shoulder structure at lower energy. These structures dire…

In this work, we presented a facile approach for the preparation of three-dimensional PbS nanoflowers, which was attributed to the coexistence of two types of amines with different-length alkyl chains and different steric hindrance. These monodisperse PbS nanoflowers showed small particle sizes (∼35 nm) and narrow siz…

In the field of nanometre-sized drug-delivery systems, a wide range of colloidal systems have been created in recent decades. All of the systems have a similar global structure, that is, an inner part and an external surface/interface. In several applications, the external interface is the support for desired properti…

Owing to their scientific and technological importance, inorganic single crystals with highly reactive surfaces have long been studied. Unfortunately, surfaces with high reactivity usually diminish rapidly during the crystal growth process as a result of surface energy minimization. The crystal planes of nickel hydrox…

The effect of carrier multiplication (CM) in semiconductor nanocrystals is systematically treated by employing an exciton scattering approach. Using projection operators, we reduce the Coulomb coupled multiexciton dynamics to scattering dynamics in the space spanning both single- and biexciton states. We derive a clos…
