- Nanocrystal quantum dots are attractive materials for applications as nanoscale light sources.
- The development of amorphous and nanocrystalline materials has attracted significant interest in the field of new materials design.
- The grain size distribution in a polycrystalline ceramic material is not uniform.
- The majority of metallic and ceramic engineering materials of interest are polycrystalline.
- Nanocrystalline (nc) materials are single or multi-phase polycrystalline solids with a grain size of a few nanometers, typically less than 100 nm.
- Grain boundaries often have a decisive effect on the macroscopic properties of polycrystalline materials, but the wide variety of their atomic structures, interfacial lengths, and compositions makes them difficult to characterize all-encompassingly.
