Novel ZnO nanostructures over gold and silver nanoparticle assemblies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the growth of well-oriented nest (reticulum)-like and lotus flower-like submicron structures of ZnO, over gold and silver nanoparticle assemblies, respectively. The structures were grown by a convenient chemical bath deposition method in a nutrient solution made of zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2 Æ 6H2O) and methyl amine (CH3NH2) at low temperature. SEM, XRD, Raman, UV–Vis and fluorescence spectra were used to study the morphology, crystallinity and phase purity of the structures. The ZnO submicron structures were found to be in the hexagonal wurtzite phase. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Bimetallic nanostructures as active Raman markers: gold-nanoparticle assembly on 1D and 2D silver nanostructure surfaces.
It is demonstrated that bimetallic silver-gold anisotropic nanostructures can be easily assembled from various nanoparticle building blocks with well-defined geometries by means of electrostatic interactions. One-dimensional (1D) silver nanowires, two-dimensional (2D) silver nanoplates, and spherical gold nanoparticles are used as representative building blocks for bottom-up assembly. The gold ...

متن کاملA new nano-worm structure from gold-nanoparticle mediated random curving of zinc oxide nanorods.
Creating novel nanostructures is a primary step for high-performance analytical sensing. Herein, a new worm like nanostructure with Zinc Oxide-gold (ZnO/Au) hybrid was fabricated through an aqueous hydrothermal method, by doping Au-nanoparticle (AuNP) on the growing ZnO lattice. During ZnO growth, fine tuning the solution temperature expedites random curving of ZnO nanorods and forms nano-worms...

Needle-like ZnO nanostructures were synthesized by an organic-free hydrothermal process. Thehydrothermal synthesis was performed at very low pressure (~20 kPa) with duration of process only 10min. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD)and transmission electronmicroscopy (TEM).The XRD pattern indicated that the needle –like ZnO nanostructures were hexag...

DNA origami nanostructures are a versatile tool to arrange metal nanostructures and other chemical entities with nanometer precision. In this way gold nanoparticle dimers with defined distance can be constructed, which can be exploited as novel substrates for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). We have optimized the size, composition and arrangement of Au/Ag nanoparticles to create intens...
