title: Self-assembly of uniform hexagonal yttrium phosphate nanocrystals.
abstract: We report a facile chemical route for the synthesis of uniform hexagonal yttrium phosphate hydrate nanocrystals and their assembly into close-packed regular superstructures through noncovalent interactions of long chain molecules attached to the surfaces of inorganic nanocrystals.
