  text: 'High-performance semiconductors rely upon precise control of heat and charge
    transport. This can be achieved by precisely engineering defects in polycrystalline
    solids. There are multiple approaches to preparing such polycrystalline semiconductors,
    and the transformation of solution-processed colloidal nanoparticles is appealing
    because colloidal nanoparticles combine low cost with structural and compositional
    tunability along with rich surface chemistry. However, the multiple processes
    from nanoparticle synthesis to the final bulk nanocomposites are very complex.
    They involve nanoparticle purification, post-synthetic modifications, and finally
    consolidation (thermal treatments and densification). All these properties dictate
    the final material’s composition and microstructure, ultimately affecting its
    functional properties. This thesis explores the synthesis, surface chemistry and
    consolidation of colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles into dense solids. In particular,
    the transformations that take place during these processes, and their effect on
    the material’s transport properties are evaluated. '
