Two solids made of the same elements but with different geometric arrangements of the atoms, or crystal phases, can produce materials with different properties. Coal and diamond offer a spectacular ...
Nanometre-scale colloidal crystals of group II–VI, III–V and IV–VI semiconductors are prized for their size-dependent optical and electronic properties that emerge as the exciton, electron and hole ...
Researchers have for the first time obtained single-particle resolution in the study of surface premelting phenomena. Scientists have now developed a new colloidal model system, establishing novel ...
A new form of solid, stable light-sensitive nanoparticles, called colloidal quantum dots, could lead to cheaper and more flexible solar cells, as well as better gas sensors, infrared lasers, infrared ...

The normal modes and the density of states (DOS) of any material provide a basis for understanding its thermal and mechanical transport properties. In perfect crystals, normal modes are plane waves, ...

The surface of a solid often melts into a thin layer of liquid even below its melting point. Such surface premelting is prevalent in all classes of solids; for instance, two pieces of ice can fuse ...
