The pH-responsive self-assembly of a zwitterionic amphiphile was expanded to the recovery of gold (Au) nanoparticles. Multilayered lamellae were incorporated into the nanoparticles. Redispersion of nanoparticles was achieved by the transition of self-assembly based on pH.

We review the concepts and principal experimental results pertaining to the self-assembly and self-ordering of quantum dots in semiconductor systems. We focus on the kinetics and thermodynamics of the formation and evolution of coherently strained 3D islands, and the effects of strain on nucleation, growth, and island shape. We also discuss ongoing research on methods to control the density, size, and size distributions of strained islands, both within a single strained layer and in quantum dot (QD) multilayers.

Simple processes for the preparation of semiconductor quantum dot lattices embedded in dielectric amorphous matrices play an important role in various nanotechnology applications. Of particular interest are quantum dot lattices with properties that differ significantly in different directions parallel to the material surface. Here, a simple method is demonstrated for the fabrication of an anisotropic lattice of Ge quantum dots in an amorphous Al2O3matrix by a self-assembly process. A specific deposition geometry with an oblique incidence of the Ge and Al2O3adparticles was used during magnetron sputtering deposition to achieve the desired anisotropy. The observed Ge quantum dot ordering is explained by a combination of directional diffusion of adparticles from the Ge and Al2O3targets and a shadowing process which occurs during deposition as a result of the specific surface morphology. The prepared material shows a strong anisotropy of the electrical conductivity in different directions parallel to the sample surface.
