Local alteration of the crystal surface offers control of lateral nanocrystal epitaxy with spatially modulated structures. This modulation could be a variation in electronic structure of the interface or a change in orientation of the nanocrystal. Nanoepitaxy on a surface with lattice variation allows partitioning nanocrystal heterojunctions into different segments with predictable function or orientations in a scalable and predictable fashion.
