title = "Synthesis, surface studies, composition and structural characterization of CdSe, core/shell and biologically active nanocrystals",
abstract = "Nanostructures, with their very large surface to volume ratio and their non-planar geometry, present an important challenge to surface scientists. New issues arise as to surface characterization, quantification and interface formation. This review summarizes the current state of the art in the synthesis, composition, surface and interface control of CdSe nanocrystal systems, one of the most studied and useful nanostructures.",

note = "Funding Information: Several individuals contributed to this work. Tadd Kippeny and Mike Bowers worked out the peculiarities of the TOPO synthesis discussed in Section 2 . Jason Taylor and Tadd Kippeny performed the Rutherford backscattering experiments on CdSe described in Section 4 . Lauren Wiegand contributed to the development of alloy synthesis. Laura Swafford performed the RBS on the alloys and also provided a critical reading of this manuscript. Tony Hmelo and Sriram Dixit were instrumental in the maintenance of the accelerator facility. Andreas Kadavanich performed the initial Z-STEM experiments discussed in Section 5 . Also, Andrew Lupini was extremely helpful with the alignment of the aberration correction system on the 300 kV STEM at ORNL. Ian Tomlinson, Michael Warnement and Elizabeth Bentzen contributed to the biological studies presented in Section 6 . The work described in this report resulted in funding from SJR{\textquoteright}s DOE grant FG02-02ER45957, NSF Career Award, and NIH RO1 EB003728-02. ",
