Crystallization of Opals from Polydisperse Nanoparticles
Abstract
We report the reversible formation of crystals of nanoparticles (opals) from solutions of polydisperse gold nanocrystals. The structures are identified by transmission electron microscopy, and are characterized by hexagonal domains of large particles at the center, surrounded radially by successively smaller particles. Simulated annealing Monte Carlo calculations are used to demonstrate that these configurations correspond to minimization of the mesoscopic van der Waals energy of polydisperse particles, and the driving force for ordering is the size dependence of dispersional attractions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
