Understanding the Structural Origin of Chirality in Magic-Size Semiconductor Nanoclusters through Self-Assembly Simulations

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | First 5 Authors: Hongjin Du, Hongjin Du, , , | Summary: Semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs) are atomically precise nanoparticles exhibiting unique size-dependent properties, but their ultrasmall dimensions hinder structural characterization, limiting our understanding of their formation and stability. A few MSC structures have been fully resolved, revealing either bulk-like […]
