Probing intermediates of the induction period prior to nucleation and growth of semiconductor quantum dots

Growth of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots involves several stages, including an enigmatic induction period preceding nucleation. Here, the authors identify two distinct intermediates in the induction period, mapping their evolution from precursors all the way to either magic-size clusters or qu...
