Semiconductor Nanocrystals and Silicate Nanoparticles

"Studies of semiconductor nanocrystals remain a key component in the repertoire of materials chemistry. As these materials enjoy sustained relevance to applications in optoelectronic materials and biological labeling, updated, in-depth reviews of their fundamental properties continue to be a valuable resource to those interested in the field. ...this volume in the longstanding Structure and Bonding series is a useful compilation of up-to-date reviews regarding semiconductor nanocrystals, especially those of the often-studied II-VI variety. It also continues its tradition of choosing respected scientists in the field that produce lucid papers of value." from: Jeffery L. Coffer, Texas Christian University, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 9258
