Abstract
The mechanical properties of colloidal nanocrystal superlattices can be tailored through exposure to low-pressure plasma. The elastic modulus and hardness of the ligand-free 3.7 nm ZrO<sub>2</sub> superlattice are found to be similar to bulk yttria-stabilized tetragonal polycrystals of the same relative density but without any doping.
