OVER-TRANSITIONS. “On the other hand, if the mutual order of the nanocrystals is continuously brought out of crystallographic register until mutual order is lost, the mesocrystal will transform to an unoriented polycrystal.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

“THE OBJECTIVE of the present analysis is to investigate if the consequences of such an information exchange origin are realistic or not; not to formulate a sub-Planckian theory of such interactions.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

ENERGETICS. “These considerations show that a temporary stabilization of the nanoparticles is crucial for the nanoparticle orientation to a mesocrystal by interaction forces to maintain that the system is able find the point of minimal energy on its energy landscape. This means that thermal energy has to be able to populate all possible states.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

PRECURSORS. “Rapidly formed amorphous precursor structures are important in nonclassical reaction channels.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

MAGNETIC DRIVER. “Controlled rotation of a sample in a strong magnetic field with nonconstant velocity can also induce alignment along the magnetization axes for nanoparticles >10-100nm and thus 3D mesocrystal formation as demonstrated for L-alanine, which itself is not magnetic.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

STRUCTURE--> FUNCTION. “It was also demonstrated that the alignment of the nanocrystals in the mesocrystal is clearly advantageous for the physical properties. The cobalt mesocrystal showed a four times higher magnetic coercivity compared to unoriented nanoparticles.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

FORCE FIELDS. “This shows that the magnetic field assisted formation of mesocrystals from mag- netic nanoparticles is controlled by the relative strength of the interplay of van der Waals interaction, steric repulsion and directional dipolar interactions between the nanoparticles supported by the external magnetic field.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

MAGNETICALLY DRIVEN. “Besides electric fields, magnetic fields can be applied as external force for the orientation of nanocrystals to mesocrystals. Large area (10 fLm) mesocrystals with more than lOG nanocubes as well as 3D mesocrystals could be produced by this simple procedure.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN. “Indeed, external electric fields can be used to create 2D and 3D mesocrystals as demonstrated for CdS nanorods and for large areas of several square micrometers if monodisperse CdSe/CdS nanorods were used.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

BIOELECTRICITY. “These dipoles of aligned triple helical protein fibers on the nanometer scale can build up a macroscopic dipole ifthey are aligned along the mesocrystal c-axis. This showed for the first time the direct correlation between intrinsic electric fields and the self-organized growth of fluoroapatite mesocrystals.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn
