Self - Assembly of Gold Nanorods
نویسنده
چکیده
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 three-dimensional structures. Some of the three-dimensional assemblies extend to superlattices of NRs. The translation and orientation symmetries of the self-assembled structures are determined. The factors affecting the formation of the ordered self-assembly are discussed.

Studies on the self-assembly of metal nanoparticles (NPs) in the presence of ions are motivated by the biosensing applications of NP clusters and the capability to control the morphology of clusters of oppositely charged NPs. The effect of ions has been explored for the self-assembly of metal NPs capped solely with ionic ligands, whereas, in general, the surface of NPs can be coated with a mixt...

We demonstrate a template-assisted colloidal self-assembly approach for magnetic metasurfaces on macroscopic areas. The choice of anisotropic colloidal particle geometry, assembly pattern and metallic film is based on rational design criteria, taking advantage of mirror-charge effects for gold nanorods placed on gold film. Monodisperse gold nanorods prepared utilizing wet-chemistry are arranged...

We present a simple and universal technique for assembling gold nanorods (NRs) using self-assembled stacks of lyotropic chromonic materials, without covalent bonding between NRs and the linking agent. The anisotropic electrostatic interaction between the chromonic stacks and NRs allows one to achieve either side-by-side or end-to-end assembly, depending on the surface charge of NRs. The assembl...
