Plasmonic Crystal Transformation: Plasmon‐Driven Rapid In Situ Formation of Luminescence Single Crystal Nanoparticle (Small 34/2019)

In article number 1901286, Zhenglong Zhang, Hairong Zheng, and co-workers develop a strategy to realize an easy and rapid in-situ crystal transformation by plasmon-induced thermal and catalysis effects, which is applicable even at low temperature. Such a scheme not only solves the bottleneck of the conventional approach of single crystal nanomaterial formation, but also extends the application of surface plasmons to a much broader field.
