Deskripsi

Macroscopically large supercrystals are very difficult to assemble from metallic nanoparticles. Here, the authors use a binary solvent diffusion method to form sub-millimeter gold nanoparticle supercrystals with rare hcp symmetry, and discover that they exhibit facet-dependent optical properties.
