Solvent-like ligand-coated ultrasmall cadmium selenide nanocrystals: strong electronic coupling in a self-organized assembly.
Strong inter-nanocrystal electronic coupling is a prerequisite for delocalization of exciton wave functions and high conductivity. We report 170 meV electronic coupling energy of short chain poly(ethylene glycol) thiolate-coated ultrasmall (<2.5 nm in diameter) CdSe semiconductor nanocrystals (SNCs) in solution. Cryo-transmission electron microscopy analysis showed the formation of a pearl-neck...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of poly ethylene glycol -based block copolymers for biomedical applications
Nanostructure fabrication from block copolymers is discussed in this review paper. Particularly, novel approaches for the Ž . Ž . construction of functionalized poly ethylene glycol PEG layers on surfaces were focused to attain the specific adsorption of a target protein through PEG-conjugated ligands with a minimal non-specific adsorption of other proteins. Furthermore, surface organization of...
