Nanosphere Lithography: Synthesis and Application of Nanoparticles with Inherently Anisotropic Structures and Surface Chemistry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early work with size-tunable periodic particle arrays (PPAs) fabricated by nanosphere lithography (NSL) demonstrated that the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) could be tuned throughout the visible region of the spectrum. The LSPR is sensitive to changes in nanoparticle aspect ratio and local dielectric environment. This property has recently been exploited to develop a novel method of measuring surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) excitation profiles. Single layer PPAs consist of size-tunable anisotropic nanoparticles that can be modified to exhibit anisotropic surface chemistry. This work demonstrates multiple schemes for PPA modification using self-assembled monolayers and colloid decoration. Nanoparticle anisotropy can be further exploited with the recent combination of NSL and reactive ion etching (RIE); this extends the two-dimensional PPA structure into the third dimension

Profile Controlled Gold Nanostructures Fabricated by Nanosphere Lithography for Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is the coherent oscillation of conductive electrons confined in noble metallic nanoparticles excited by electromagnetic radiation, and nanosphere lithography (NSL) is one of the cost-effective methods to fabricate metal nanostructures for LSPR. NSL can be categorized into two major groups: dispersed NSL and closely pack NSL. In recent years, gold nanoc...

A novel method to produce solution-phase triangular silver nanoparticles is presented. Ag nanoparticles are prepared by nanosphere lithography and are subsequently released into solution. The resulting nanoparticles are asymmetrically functionalized to produce either single isolated nanoparticles or dimer pairs. The structural and optical properties of Ag nanoparticles have been characterized. ...
متن کاملSynthesis of aligned single-walled nanotubes using catalysts defined by nanosphere lithography.
Synthesis of highly aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with controlled positions is an important step toward manufacturable ultradense carbon nanotube integrated circuits. One of the most promising synthesis methods is chemical vapor deposition (CVD), in which small catalyst particles with diameters of approximately a few nanometers determine the position and diameter of SWNTs.1 Sig...
متن کاملSecond harmonic excitation spectroscopy of silver nanoparticle arrays.
Frequency-scanned excitation profiles of coherent second harmonic generation (SHG) were measured for silver nanoparticle arrays prepared by nanosphere lithography. The frequency of the fundamental beam did not coincide with the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the nanoparticles and was tuned so that the coherent second harmonic (SH) emission was in the region of the LSPR at 720-750...
