Abstract
An electric field drives nanocrystals dispersed in solvents to assemble into ordered three-dimensional superlattices. A first electrode and a second electrodeare in the vessel. The electrodes face each other. A fluid containing charged nanocrystals fills the vessel between the electrodes. The electrodes are connected to a voltage supply which produces an electrical field between the electrodes. The nanocrystals will migrate toward one of the electrodes and accumulate on the electrode producing ordered nanocrystal accumulation that will provide a superlattice thin film, isolated superlattice islands, or coalesced superlattice islands.
