A nanocrystalline (NC) material is a polycrystalline material with a crystallite size of only a few nanometers. These materials fill the gap between amorphous materials without any long range order and conventional coarse-grained materials.

Nanocrystals, a subtype of nanoparticles, specifically refer to particles that possess a crystalline structure throughout their volume, with atoms organized in a repeating, orderly pattern.

2016年1月22日 · Understanding the structure and properties of nanoscale interfaces requires an intricate mix of concepts and techniques borrowed from surface science and coordination chemistry. Our Review...

Nanocrystals is a prominent tool to solve the issue related to poor aqueous solubility and helps in improving the bioavailability of many drugs as reported in the literature. Nanocrystals can be prepared by top down methods, bottom up methods and combination methods.

2021年5月13日 · Semiconductor nanoparticles (NP) or nanocrystals (NC) have been investigated for many decades, with particular acceleration in interest upon the discovery of quantum confinement effects thereby yielding quantum dots (QD) from certain well-grown NC. The term NP is commonly used in the case of metal and wide gap semiconductor nanocrystals.

Nanocrystallization is a versatile method for salvaging poorly soluble drugs with the added benefit of a carrier‐free delivery system. In this review, we provide a comprehensive analysis of nanocrystals with emphasis on their clinical translation.

2016年3月21日 · The secret to a long-hidden magic trick behind the self-assembly of nanocrystal structures is starting to be revealed. The transformation of simple colloidal particles — bits of matter suspended in solution — into tightly packed, beautiful lace-like meshes, or superlattices, has puzzled researchers for decades.

2022年3月24日 · Nanocrystals─a distinct class of nanomaterials─are forecast to play a pivotal role in the next generation of devices such as liquid crystal displays, light-emitting diodes, lasers, and luminescent solar concentrators.

2024年9月19日 · After 40 years of dedicated research, the research community now achieves nanocrystals with precisely controlled dimensions, compositions, and surface terminations, resulting in tailored physical and chemical properties.

A nanocrystal is defined as a material characterized by small crystallite-size in the range of a few nanometers, separated by high-angle grain boundaries, and with a large volume fraction of disordered regions known as grain boundaries.
