Popis: The preparation of monodisperse nanoparticles with uniform size, shape and composition has been intensively pursed because of their scientific and technological interests [1-4]. The major advantage of monodisperse particles may be attributed to the uniform properties of individual particles, which makes the property of whole particles strictly controllable. They have been widely used in industries such as pharmacy, catalysts, sensors, film precursors, and information storage. The property of nanoparticles is much more sensitive to their size than that of micro-particles. For example, the florescence of monodisperse CdSe/ZnS core/shell nanoparticles depends strongly on their size [5]. The superparamagnetism also depends strongly on the size of nanoparticles [6]. The properties of these particular size nanoparticles show great potentials in the field of bio-medicals and electronics.
