Semiconductor nanoparticles metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition

Layers of semiconductor nanoparticles may be prepared, in a variety of ways, either from preformed colloids via techniques such as spin-coating or LbL assembly, or from ionic, atomic or molecular precursors via, for example, electrodeposition, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Selected examples of layered structures, derived from a wealth of reports, are described here as examples, together with some attempts at their characterization.
