  The unique plasma-specific features and physical phenomena in the
organization of nanoscale solid-state systems in a broad range of elemental
composition, structure, and dimensionality are critically reviewed. These
effects lead to the possibility to localize and control energy and matter at
nanoscales and to produce self-organized nano-solids with highly unusual and
superior properties. A unifying conceptual framework based on the control of
production, transport, and self-organization of precursor species is introduced
and a variety of plasma-specific non-equilibrium and kinetics-driven phenomena
across the many temporal and spatial scales is explained. When the plasma is
localized to micrometer and nanometer dimensions, new emergent phenomena arise.
The examples range from semiconducting quantum dots and nanowires, chirality
control of single-walled carbon nanotubes, ultra-fine manipulation of
graphenes, nano-diamond, and organic matter, to nano-plasma effects and
nano-plasmas of different states of matter.
