- Controlling the temperature change between the first and second temperatures allows for precise control over the temperature of the reaction mixture, and thus precise control over the crystal structure in which the nanocrystals will nucleate and grow.
- the controlled temperature change also allows for a wider range of suitable first temperatures because the second temperature remains sufficiently high to grow the nanocrystals in the desired crystal structure after the reaction mixture is formed.
- the wider range of first temperatures allows for the use of a wider variety of reagents, coordinating solvents and surfactants, thus reducing manufacturing costs.
- Producing II- VI type nanocrystals in an anisotropic shape depends on nucleating and/or growing the material in a particular crystal structure.
- Anisotropic is used herein to mean nanocrystals having properties that differ according to the direction of measurement.
- anisotropic rod- shaped nanocrystals have anisotropic aspect ratios of about 2:1 to about 10:1 or greater.
- An aspect ratio of 2: 1 for a rod-shaped nanocrystal means the length of the rod is 2 times the width of the rod.

- the process comprises contacting a first precursor mixture, which is heated to a first temperature, with a second precursor mixture to form a reaction mixture at a second temperature.
- the first and second temperatures are sufficiently high to nucleate II- VI and HI-V nanocrystals in the cubic crystal structure.
- the reaction mixture is then heated to a third temperature, which is sufficiently high to grow the H-VI and HI-V nanocrystals in the hexagonal crystal structure.
- the second temperature is no more than about 15 °C lower than the first temperature, alternatively, the second temperature is no more than about 10 °C, 7 °C, 5 °C, 3 °C, or 1 °C lower than the first temperature.

- the composition of rod-shaped HI-V nanocrystals have at least about 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 95%> hexagonal crystal structure and aspect ratio of at least about 4:1. It is preferable to produce rod-shaped nanocrystals having no cubic crystal structure, because the areas having cubic crystal structure act as stacking faults such that the shape of the nanocrystal is not a straight rod but a zigzag-shaped rod. This zigzag shape can adversely affect the optical and electronic properties of the nanocrystal.
- the percentage of crystal structure for a particular nanocrystal can be determined by any method known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, measuring the amount of the nanocrystal in one crystal structure to the total amount of the nanocrystal, or by measuring the ratio of crystal structure in the produced nanocrystal to that of a nanocrystal pure in one crystal structure determines the percentage of crystal structure.
