چکیده
Real-time observations on gold nanorods evolving into spiral or lamellar superlattices are demonstrated. 2D critical nuclei and screw dislocations initiate the crystallization process. Kinetics of the superlattice growth is determined to be similar to that of classical crystal growth, where three basic modes are involved: spiral, layer-by-layer and dendritic.

Investigation and Determination of Osvix by Gold Nanorods by Spectrophotometry
Background and Aims: Osvix drug is an internal brand of Plavix, which is used to prevent blood coagulation in many heart diseases. The aim of the present study was to measure this drug by gold nanorods in optimum conditions and in real samples. Material and Methods: Gold nanorods were synthesized by the seeded-mediated method. Measurement of Osvix drug by gold nanorods was performed by optimizi...
متن کاملFabrication of Highly Ordered Gold Nanorods Film Using Alumina Nanopores
A simple method for fabrication of highly ordered gold nanorod film is introduced in this article. The procedure is based on thermal evaporation of gold into a porous anodic alumina film (PAA). The PPA film was fabricated by combining the hard and mild anodization. This combination effectively decreases the processing time of fabrication of highly ordered porous anodic alumina film with c...
متن کاملSelf - Assembly of Gold Nanorods
Self-assembly of gold nanorods (NRs) with aspect ratio of ∼4.6 (12 nm in diameter and 50-60 nm in length) has been studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Under appropriate conditions such as nanoparticle concentration, solvent evaporation, narrow size distribution, ionic strength, and surfactant concentration of the parent solution, gold nanorods assemble into one-, two-, and thr...
متن کاملAssembly of reconfigurable one-dimensional colloidal superlattices due to a synergy of fundamental nanoscale forces.
We report that triangular gold nanoprisms in the presence of attractive depletion forces and repulsive electrostatic forces assemble into equilibrium one-dimensional lamellar crystals in solution with interparticle spacings greater than four times the thickness of the nanoprisms. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the anomalously large d spacings of the lamellar superlattices are ...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal mapping of three dimensional rotational dynamics of single ultrasmall gold nanorods
Spatiotemporal mapping of the position and orientation of nano-machinery inside complex and dynamic cellular environments is essential for the detailed understanding of many bio-physical processes. For the genuine observation of such biomolecular dynamics with high signal to noise ratio and reduced disturbance from the labeling probes, reduction in the size of nano-bio labels and simplification...
