Giant clusters of Pd nanocrystals are obtained by the mesoscopic assembly of nanocrystals of uniform size. This observation provides an illustration of the principle of self-similarity. These clusters of metal nanocrystals are perhaps bound by the same laws that endow special stability to magic numbered nanocrystals. It would therefore appear that these laws are invariant under scaling. The giant clusters of Pdssi nanocrystals obtained by us are different from other types of ligand directed nanocrystal aggregates which are formed mostly due to the directional nature of the ligand shell.

In this work, Pradhan et al. demonstrated the encapsulation of crystalline Fe404 nanoparticles into the uniform carbon nanotubes by the MOCVD technique using ferrocene and that the size and number of such nanoparticles can be easily controlled by changing the MOCVD temperature or its period. At a proper MOCVD condition, Fe404 nanocrystals could be introduced into all of the nanotubes to different degrees, and more than 20% of the total volume of the tube hollow was filled with the nanoparticles. 

Large-scale icosahedral gold nanocrystals with good uniformity can be obtained in a one-step thermal process using PVP and HAuC14 as reactants in a reflux bath at 100 °C. Observation by shows that most of the nanoparticles have a projected quasi-spheroid shape of 220 40nm in size [104] (Figure 3.10).
