The ability to stop the self-assembly of gold nanocrystals at a desired stage of the process
provides new leverage to understand and control the dynamics of self-assembly. Herein …

This study sheds light on the mechanism and dynamics of self-assembly of gold
nanoparticles (AuNPs) using molecular linkers such as aminothiols. An experimental model …

In this work, gold nanoparticles with an appreciably narrow size distribution are prepared by
reduction of HAuCl4 in the presence of mono-6-SH-β-cyclodextrins (CDs). The β-CD …

Nanoparticle (NP) self-assembly has been recognized as an important technological
process for forming ordered nanostructures. However, the detailed dynamics of the …

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 …

Self-assembled nanostructures often exhibit unique properties that are distinct from those of
bulk materials. During the past decade, significant progress has been made in the assembly …

We present a general strategy to stabilize gold nanorod suspensions with mono-and
