  • Biological control of nanoparticle nucleation, shape and crystal phase
    Publication number: 20050164515
    Abstract: The present invention includes compositions and methods for selective binding of amino acid oligomers to semiconductor materials. One form of the present invention is a method for controlling the particle size of the semiconductor materials by interacting an amino acid oligomer that specifically binds the material with solutions that can result in the formation of the material. The same method can be used to control the aspect ratio of the nanocrystal particles of the semiconductor material. Another form of the present invention is a method to create nanowires from the semiconductor material.
