Ordering nanoparticles of different compositions, sizes, shapes could yield a significant advance in for further increase in materials complexity. In order to reach this goal, fundamental understanding of the reaction pathways to the final materials is of prime importance. This research axis aims at investigating the nucleation-growth mechanisms in colloidal systems, from the solution to the solid state nanoparticles, and in a second step at exploring new pathways to complex materials with nanoscale heterogeneities.
