“…nonlinear optics, semiconductor lasing, and quantum dot applications). For organic nanocrystals, however, nanocrystals fabrication has so far rarely been investigated, owing to their thermal instability, except for the thermally stable phthalocyanine and a kind of low molecular weight aromatic compounds which were nanocrystallized by an evaporation method in an inert gas (Granqvist et al, 1976) or by a crystal growth technique in a porous polymer (Matsui et al, 1995). Recently, we have proposed a simple and convenient method for the fabrication of organic nanocrystals, what we call the reprecipitation method (Kasai et al, 1992).…”
