Anisotropic Assembly of Colloidal Nanoparticles: Exploiting Substrate Crystallinity [PDF]
, 2007 We show that the crystal structure of a substrate can be exploited to drive the anisotropic assembly of colloidal nanoparticles. Pentanethiol-passivated Au particles of approximately 2 nm diameter deposited from toluene onto hydrogen-passivated Si(111 ...

Crystalline silicates as a probe of disk formation history
, 2006 We present a new perspective on the crystallinity of dust in protoplanetary disks. The dominant crystallization by thermal annealing happens in the very early phases of disk formation and evolution. Both the disk properties and the level of crystallinity
