论文摘要
我们提供了从胶体纳米晶体的自组装或原子上精确的纳米簇变成具有远距离顺序的结晶阵列的光学，电气和机械性能的全面说明。我们比较了超晶结构与这些新兴特性之间与原子晶体中相似相关性之间的相关性，以解决纳米晶体和纳米簇表现出准原子行为的假设。我们得出的结论是，有效地，这种类比确实是合理的，尽管相同新兴特性的化学起源在原子与超晶体的晶体中大不相同。我们为纳米晶体和纳米簇的超晶体的最有希望的应用提供前景，并讨论在商业化之前要克服的挑战。
We provide a comprehensive account of the optical, electrical and mechanical properties that emerge from the self-assembly of colloidal nanocrystals or atomically precise nanoclusters into crystalline arrays with long-range order. We compare the correlation between the supercrystalline structure and these emergent properties with similar correlations in crystals of atoms to address the hypothesis that nanocrystals and nanoclusters exhibit quasi-atomic behaviour. We come to the conclusion that, effectively, this analogy is indeed justified, although the chemical origin for the same emergent properties are substantially different in crystals of atoms vs. supercrystals. We provide an outlook onto the most promising applications of supercrystals of nanocrystals and nanoclusters and discuss the challenges to be overcome before their commercialization.
