Previous studies have demonstrated that these ligands can be exchanged, resulting in an alteration of nanocrystal characteristics—one of which being photoluminescence (PL) intensity.

integrating the book into their curriculum. Lisa Marcus, associate professor of English, plans to teach the book in her Writing 101 seminar on “Banned Books.” She wants students to recognize that Urrea’s book has been banned in Arizona as part of a push to suppress ethnic studies, particularly works that address Mexican-American history and experience.
