25. The seeded growth approach allows to grow core/shell nanorod structures at high temperatures (>350 °C), and this leads to highly monodisperse elongated structures with few crystallographic defects. The elongated shell strongly increases the absorption cross-section of the nanocrystals in the blue - UV region with respect to the absorption of spherical core-shell nanocrystals with comparable quantum yield, and therefore a brighter emission is expected. The Stokes shift between the first excitonic peak and the DR-NC emission peak (the latter centered at ∼600 nm with a full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of 24 nm) is only slightly affected by the rod length, therefore confirming that the radiative recombination process is mainly localized in the core (i.e., seed) region.

30. This low Q value is limited by large losses in both out-of-plane and in-plane directions because photonic band-gap exists in only relatively high frequency regions and it is at best very narrow.

32. The electron beam lithography process was carried out on a JEOL JBX-6000 lithography system (acceleration voltage = 50 KV, beam current = 120 pA), with modulated dose along the pattern in order to compensate the proximity effect between neighboring holes. The sample was then developed in ZED-N50 solvent and rinsed in ZMD-B (both from ZEON Corporation).
33. Slight deviations (in the range of the resolution limit of the lithographic process) of the fabricated inner holes radii from the expected values can explain the reduction of the experimental Q-factor from the simulated one. Further improvements in the control of the lithographic exposure parameters will predictably lead to a better match between theoretical and experimental performances.
