 They were able to grow 20 CDS or CDSE nanorots on 20 exposed 111 facets of silver icosahedral nanocrystals despite the large lattice mismatch. Additionally, they found that the quantum yield of plasma induced hot electron transfer from silver to cadmium sulfide was 18.1 percent. This technique has potential applications in studying the role of interfaces in various physical and chemical processes. This article was authored by Li Xia, Xia Tee Gevry, Bo Chen, and others.
