Title: Composition-matched molecular “solders” for semiconductors

Abstract

Soldering semiconductor nanoparticles The optical and electronic properties of semiconductor nanoparticles can be tuned through changes in their size and composition. However, poor contact between interfaces can degrade nanoparticle performance in devices. Dolzhnikov et al. report the synthesis of a gel-like “solder” for metal chalcogenide nanoparticles, such as cadmium selenide and lead telluride, by cross-linking molecular wires of these materials. Science , this issue p. 425
