20. 9 We also conducted DSC experiments in the temperature range of -50 °C to 100 °C and did not observe any endotherms. The difference between our results and those reported in refs 9 and 21 could arise from the fact that the previous studies examined polydisperse disordered nanocrystal films; whereas the samples measured in the studies reported here focused on monodisperse, ordered arrays.
