Phase Transition and Optical Properties of DNA-Gold Nanoparticle Assemblies.
We review recent work on DNA-linked gold nanoparticle assemblies. The synthesis, properties, and phase behavior of such DNA-gold nanoparticle assemblies are described. These nanoparticle assemblies have strong optical extinction in the ultraviolet and visible light regions; hence, the technique is used to study the kinetics and phase transitions of DNA-gold nanoparticle assemblies. The melting ...
متن کاملModeling nonequilibrium dynamics of phase transitions at the nanoscale: Application to spin-crossover
In this article, we present a continuum mechanics based approach for modeling thermally induced single-nanoparticle phase transitions studied in ultrafast electron microscopy. By using coupled differential equations describing heat transfer and the kinetics of the phase transition, we determine the major factors governing the time scales and efficiencies of thermal switching in individual spin-...
متن کاملControlling the wetting transitions of nanoparticles on nanopatterned substrates using an electric current.
We study the behavior of a nanoparticle under electromigration on a nanopatterned surface. We show that electromigration allows one to control the wetting transitions of the nanoparticle. Suitable surface electromigration conditions to observe these transitions can be achieved with electric currents larger than 1 μA. Using kinetic Monte Carlo simulations and analytical modeling, we determine th...
متن کاملSynthesis and size-dependent crystallization of colloidal germanium telluride nanoparticles†‡
Colloidal nanocrystals have long been used to study the dependence of phase stability and transitions on size. Both structural phase stability and phase transitions change dramatically in the nanometre size regime where the surface plays a significant role in determining the overall energetics of the system. We investigate the solid–solid phase transformation of crystallization in amorphous GeT...
متن کاملControlled buckling and crumpling of nanoparticle-coated droplets.
We introduce a new experimental approach to study the structural transitions of large numbers of nanoparticle-coated droplets as their volume is reduced. We use an emulsion system where the dispersed phase is slightly soluble in the continuous phase. By adding a fixed amount of unsaturated continuous phase, the volume of the droplets can be controllably reduced, causing them to buckle or crumpl...
