Self-Assembly of Binary Nanocrystals Grafted with End-Functionalized Polymers: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study

. By examining the relative stabilities of different phases in the overlapping regions of the separate phase diagrams for different stoichiometries, we construct the phase diagram for the most stable phase in different binary combinations of end-functionalized PGNC systems. Our BNSLs display multivalent cluster properties analogous to NCTs. By investigating the assembly dynamics, we find that due to the attraction interactions between end groups, multivalent hybridization occurs, leading to the formation of clusters and various BNSL.
