Unraveling the Transformation Pathways in Semiconductor Clusters by Studying the Formation of Spectroscopically Pure (CdS)13 Magic-Size Clusters

Yalei Deng et al.

Summary: This study investigates the formation and transformation mechanisms in Cd-based MSCs by analyzing spectroscopically pure (CdS)13 MSCs. It reveals two additional transformation pathways in the semiconductor cluster region: intercluster transformation involving dissolution and regrowth, and anion exchange reaction, which is observed for the first time in semiconductor MSCs. These findings not only enhance the understanding of cluster transformation, but also contribute to the synthesis of nanocrystals.

Direct and Indirect Pathways of CdTeSe Magic-Size Cluster Isomerization Induced by Surface Ligands at Room Temperature

Yusha Yang et al.

Summary: This study explores the isomerization reactions of colloidal semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs), specifically CdTeSe, and reveals two pathways regulated by acidity and ligand amount. Pathway 1 involves direct changes in intracluster configuration and a large energy barrier, while pathway 2 is indirect and involves MSC precursor compounds (PCs). Pathway 1 is activated when the conversion from PC-422 to MSC-422 is suppressed. The findings provide insights into the transformative behavior of MSCs through ligand-induced isomerization upon external chemical stimuli.

A Two-Pathway Model for the Evolution of Colloidal Compound Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Magic-Size Clusters

Yang Li et al.

Summary: A fundamental understanding of formation pathways is critical to controlled synthesis of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals. An unconventional, selective approach and a two-pathway model have been developed to decouple the evolution of ultrasmall quantum dots (QDs) and magic-size clusters (MSCs). Manipulation of precursor compounds enables synthesis of different types of nanocrystals, which is significant for the development of nucleation theory and synthesis of nanomaterials.

Transformation Pathway from CdSe Nanoplatelets with AbsorptionDoublets at 373/393 nm to Nanoplatelets at 434/460 nm

Zhaopeng Cao et al.

Summary: The transformation pathway and morphological nature of CdSe nanoplatelets were investigated. It was found that the transformation goes through magic-sized clusters (MSCs) and both MSCs and their assembled nanoplatelets exhibit similar optical absorption.

Multiscale hierarchical structures from a nanocluster mesophase

Haixiang Han et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the spontaneous hierarchical self-organization of nanometre-scale subunits to form higher-level complex structures. By using monodisperse Cd37S18 magic-size cluster building blocks, highly aligned structures are obtained, which mimic the complex constructions seen in nature. This research provides a platform for the design of synthetically directed advanced materials with sophisticated functions.

A Real-Time In Situ Demonstration of Direct and Indirect Transformation Pathways in CdTe Magic-Size Clusters at Room Temperature

Chaoran Luan et al.

Summary: This study challenges the assumption that transformations of colloidal semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs) occur with only discrete, step-wise redshifts in optical absorption. With conclusive evidence provided by real-time experiments, it is revealed that the transformations can exhibit continuous and/or step-wise behavior, with some transformations following others. The findings encourage a reconsideration of absorption redshift in previous studies of binary II-VI MSCs transformations without an increase in cluster mass.

Transformations of Magic-Size Clusters via Precursor Compound Cation Exchange at Room Temperature

Li He et al.

Summary: The present study reports the room-temperature evolution of cadmium chalcogenide magic-size clusters (MSCs) from zinc chalcogenide samples and proposes a transformation pathway. It is shown that the mixing of cadmium oleate with precursors of zinc chalcogenide MSCs results in the formation of cadmium chalcogenide MSCs. The findings suggest that in reactions leading to the production of binary metal chalcogenide quantum dots, the chalcogenide precursor dominates the formation of binary metal chalcogenide precursors with similar stoichiometry, providing a deeper understanding of the formation and transformation mechanisms of metal chalcogenide clusters.

Transformations Among Colloidal Semiconductor Magic-Size Clusters

Li He et al.

Summary: Understanding colloidal semiconductor magic-size clusters (MSCs) is crucial for grasping the evolution of fundamental properties from individual molecules to semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). The two-step approach allowed for engineering MSCs as a sole product at room temperature, demonstrating first-order reaction kinetics behavior in their evolution. Further research is needed to gain a more precise understanding of the transformation processes of these magic species.

Understanding Discrete Growth in Semiconductor Nanocrystals: Nanoplatelets and Magic-Sized Clusters

Andrew B. Pun et al.

Summary: Semiconductor nanocrystals fluoresce with color dependent on size and shape, with efforts to synthesize uniform particles. Discrete growth is observed in two major classes: semiconductor nanoplatelets and magic-sized clusters, offering a different approach to uniform nanocrystals. Understanding the mechanism behind discrete growth may lead to more uniform nanomaterials with enhanced optical properties.
