Synthesis, Solvent-dependent Self-Assembly and Partial Oxidation of Ultrathin Cerium Fluoride Nanoplatelets
Chiara Moretti, Damien Alloyeau, Benjamin Aymoz +5
Two-dimensional colloidal nanoplatelets (NPLs) with atomically defined thickness exhibit unique physical properties, yet understanding their formation mechanism and assembly remain…

Self-assembly of dodecagonal and octagonal quasicrystals in hard spheres on a plane
Etienne Fayen, Marianne Impéror-Clerc, Laura Filion +2
Quasicrystals are fascinating structures, characterized by strong positional order but lacking the periodicity of a crystal. In colloidal systems, quasicrystals are typically predi…

Gold nanoparticle supracrystals mechanics under pressure: the role of the soft matrix
Helen Ibrahim, Victor Balédent, Marianne Impéror-Clerc +1
Nanocrystals, used as building blocks, may self-assemble in long-range ordered assemblies socalled supracrystals. Different structures FCC, BCC but also Frank-Kasper phases have be…
