High-temperature resistant, ordered gold nanoparticle arrays

چکیده
Ordered gold nanoparticle arrays with high lateral density of 6.87 × 1010 nanoparticles cm−2, which are stable up to temperatures of 600 ◦C, were fabricated. To this end, nanoparticles formed by thermal vacuum evaporation of Au were immobilized within the pores of nanoporous silicon wafers prepared by block copolymer lithography coupled with dry plasma etching. Even after high-temperature treatment the degree of order imposed by the block copolymer template was retained. Optionally, a nanoporous silicon nitride mask can cover the nanoporous silicon.

Deviatoric stress-driven fusion of nanoparticle superlattices.
We model the mechanical response of alkanethiol-passivated gold nanoparticle superlattice (supercrystal) at ambient and elevated pressures using large-scale molecular dynamics simulation. Because of the important roles of soft organic ligands in mechanical response, the supercrystals exhibit entropic viscoelasticity during compression at ambient pressure. Applying a hydrostatic pressure of seve...

We demonstrate a convenient and cost-effective chemical approach for fabricating highly ordered Au nanoparticle arrays with sub-10-nm interparticle gaps. Near-field enhancements inside the interparticle gaps create uniform periodic arrays of well-defined "hot spots" exploitable for large surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) enhancements. A cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) bilayer sur...
متن کاملHierarchically Organized Nanoparticle Mesostructure Arrays Formed through Hydrothermal Self-Assembly
We report a new self-assembly pathway that leads to supported and hierarchically organized gold nanoparticle mesostructure arrays on solid substrates such as glass slide, thermal oxide, photopolymer film, and mica. Using the nanoparticle micelle as a building block, hierarchical gold nanoparticle mesostructure arrays were prepared by a hydrothermal nucleation and growth process through self-ass...
متن کاملChemically bound gold nanoparticle arrays on silicon: assembly, properties and SERS study of protein interactions.
A highly reproducible and facile method for formation of ordered 2 dimensional arrays of CTAB protected 50 nm gold nanoparticles bonded to silicon wafers is described. The silicon wafers have been chemically modified with long-chain silanes terminated with thiol that penetrate the CTAB bilayer and chemically bind to the underlying gold nanoparticle. The silicon wafer provides a reproducibly smo...
متن کاملElectric and magnetic resonances in arrays of coupled gold nanoparticle in-tandem pairs.
We present an experimental and theoretical study on the optical properties of arrays of gold nanoparticle in-tandem pairs (nanosandwiches). The well-ordered Au pairs with diameters down to 35 nm and separation distances down to 10 nm were fabricated using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) interference lithography. The strong near-field coupling of the nanoparticles leads to electric and magnetic resona...
