Controlling pattern formation in nanoparticle assemblies via directed solvent dewetting.
We have achieved highly localized control of pattern formation in two-dimensional nanoparticle assemblies by direct modification of solvent dewetting dynamics. A striking dependence of nanoparticle organization on the size of atomic force microscope-generated surface heterogeneities is observed and reproduced in numerical simulations. Nanoscale features induce a rupture of the solvent-nanoparti...
متن کاملDual-Scale Pattern Formation in Nanoparticle Assemblies
A pseudo-3D lattice gas-based Monte Carlo simulation is used to reproduce dual-scale non-equilibrium structures formed from drying colloidal nanoparticle solutions. Morphologies possessing multiple length scale features are recreated by coupling the chemical potential to the solvent density, modelling a film thickness-dependent disjoining pressure. By assigning a sigmoidal form to the chemical ...
متن کاملPattern-Directed Dewetting of Ultrathin Polymer Films
We utilize chemically patterned substrates with arrays of progressively narrower stripes (1-15 μm) to investigate the influence of pattern size on the morphology of ultrathin dewetting polystyrene films. The scale and orientation of the spinodal-like height fluctuations of the dewetting patterns are coupled to the imposed substrate chemical frequency, providing a powerful means of morphological...

متن کاملFormation of SERS active nanoparticle assemblies via specific carbohydrate-protein interactions.
An on/off SERS aggregation system has been designed to investigate carbohydrate-lectin interactions. Detection of the lectin ConA was achieved at pico molar levels. Discrimination was also demonstrated between two different carbohydrate moieties demonstrating the specific interaction between the carbohydrate and specific protein present.
