Abstract:Extensive research has been conducted on colloids that incorporate nanostructured noble metals, motivated in particular by their highly tunable optical properties. However, the lack of approaches that offer reproducibility, tunability, and scalable production is limiting their exploitation in many application areas. Here, we present an innovative process for the controlled formation of silver patches on silica nanospheres using gold nanocrystal seeds. The synthesis of the seeds and their attachment in very sma… Show more
Plasmonic nanoparticles have intriguing optical properties which make them suitable candidates for sensing or theranostic applications. Anisotropic patchy particles, where metal is locally deposited on the surface of a core...
