Until now the potential of superlatticed nanorods has been limited by the relatively expensive and exacting process required to make them. That paradigm may be shifting. A team of researchers, led by Rich Robinson and Paul Alivisatos with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) at Berkeley, has found a way to make striped nanorods in a colloid – a suspension of particles in solution. Previously, striped nanorods were made through epitaxial processes, in which the rods were attached to or embedded within a solid medium, and grown layer by... http://www.nsbp.org/en/rel/11/ noemail@nsbp.org Thu, 09 Aug 2007 05:00:00 GMT
