Abstract

Supercrystallization of CdS nanorods (10 nm × 25 nm) into perpendicular superlattices was obtained by controlled evaporation of a nanorod\nsolution trapped between a smooth substrate and a block of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). Hexagonal oriented domains 2 μm<sup>2</sup>\nin size were routinely obtained on a variety of substrates without external electric fields.
