Hybrid Nanostructures: Formation of Heteroepitaxy in Different Shapes of Au–CdSe Metal–Semiconductor Hybrid Nanostructures (Small 20/2013)

N. Pradhan, A. Patra, and co-workers report on page 3424 that the controlled epitaxial growth of semiconductor CdSe on noble metal Au seeds can lead to different shapes of Au-CdSe heteronanostructures. The image reflects the fabrication of flower, core–shell and tetrapod-like shapes of heterostructures.
