title: Morphology-controlled large-scale synthesis of ZnO nanocrystals from bulk ZnO.
abstract: Gram-scale, teardrop-like, monodisperse ZnO nanocrystals with a well-resolved absorption onset and a strong sharp UV emission were prepared by thermal decomposition of ZnO-oleic acid complexes in hexadecylamine.
