ON THE COVER: New Aspects of
Nanocrystal Research. (top left) Gold nanoparticles individually
coated with uniform silica shells. (top right) Colored films
of dense assemblies of quantum dots with different sizes (quantum-dot
solids), which are able to lase at specific wavelengths. (lower
right) Thin polymer films containing aligned silver nanorods;
the change in colors for each cross is due to the use of light
with different polarization. (lower left) A nanorainbow formed
by sequential assembly of quantum dots with different sizes.
See the technical theme that begins on p. 981.
