A multi rate kinetic model to explain the spontaneous oriented attachment of CdS nanorods in the presence of an amine is presented. The model demonstrates the reasons that elongation is restricted to a maximum of quadruple ...

Supercrystallisation of CdS nanorods (10 nm × 25 nm) into perpendicular superlattices was obtained by controlled evaporation of a nanorod solution trapped between a smooth substrate and a block of highly ordered pyrolytic ...
