Figure 1

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of (A) drop cast CdSe/ZnS QD layer, (B) drop cast Fe3O4 MNP layer and (C,D) QD-MNP dispersion in nematic liquid crystal (LC). Unlike the images in A and B, dispersion in LC produces a non-uniform layer due to the nematic phase-induced assembly. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in the region of interest circled in D is mapped for (E) Cd and (F) Fe, which indicates that while the QDs are confined to specific locations, the MNPs remain well-dispersed. All scale bars: 50 nm.
