  text: 'Recently reported synthetic routes for the production of hollow nanoparticles
    have stimulated significant interest for the possibilities this novel geometry
    offers. While advantageous properties have been found and innovative applications
    have been proposed, the development of the full potential of these new nanostructures
    is still strongly tied to the extent of control that can be accomplished over
    their characteristics (e.g., composition, size, shell thickness, and nanocrystalline
    structure). In the present work, we investigate the means and limits of control
    over these parameters that can be obtained by the Kirkendall effect synthetic
    route on cadmium chalcogenide nanocrystalline shells. We demonstrate that the
    selection of the reactants and oxidation conditions allows some extent of control
    of the nanocrystalline structure and thickness of the shell. However, the tuning
    range is limited by the intrinsic restrictions of the synthetic procedure and
    by the dependence of the particle geometry on the same reaction conditions. Thus,
    we further explore the range of control over the shell parameters that can be
    accomplished through post-synthesis processes, such as chemical etching and thermal
    annealing. '
