This review highlights recent advanced researches on the assembly of various metallic nanostructures by oligonucleotide and plasmid DNA. The obtained DNA-nanoconjugates show many unique and attractive properties, while t...
Thermoremanent magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) can self-assemble into rings through dipolar interactions, when dispersed under appropriate conditions. Analysis of individual MNP rings and clusters by off-axis electron holo...
The self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles is a research area of great interest aiming at the fabrication of unique mesostructured materials with intrinsic properties. Although many assembly strategies have been report...
Metal nanomaterials (MNMs) have received considerable interest from different scientific communities due to their size, shape, composition and architecture-dependent chemical and physical properties. MNMs-based self-asse...
Both function and use of nanoparticles (NPs) to a great extent are dominated by interfacial energies, which in turn can be addressed by chemical modifications. This article focuses exclusively on the use of 'click'-chemi...
We discuss new developments with respect to bionanoparticles as well as bionanoparticle hybrid systems and their use in composite materials. The recognition of the particle character and behavior of proteins and viral pa...
Nanocrystals are able to self-assemble in hexagonal networks (2D) and in supracrystals (3D). Here it is shown that the interparticle distance is tuned by the presence of water molecules adsorbed at the nanocrystal interf...
The central goal in nanoscience is to achieve control of the structural characteristics of ensembles (artificial molecules) of anisotropic nanoparticles (NPs), which contain new fundamental information about plasmonicall...
In this short review we are discussing the creation of two dimensional nanostructures based on self-assembly of latex particles. Furthermore we are showing that optical properties of these structures can be controlled wi...
Self-assembly can happen to particles at all length scales, including atomic, nano-, meso-and macro-particles. Although widely used in nanoresearch, many nano-structures reported in the literature are not self-assembled,...
The paper reviews recent progress on chiral nanocrystal assemblies with induced optical chirality and related circular dichroism. Many natural molecules and biomolecules are chiral and exhibit remarkably strong optical c...
Nanostructured magnetic materials have a variety of promising applications spreading from nano-scale electronic devices, sensors and high-density data storage media to controlled drug delivery and cancer diagnostics/trea...
Nanoparticles and their arrays do not obey Ohm's law, even when the particles are made of metal, because of their small size. The non-Ohmic behavior is due to their low capacitance that allows ( local) storage of charge ...
Patterned quantum dot (QD) nanostructures were prepared by direct electron beam lithography on QD films. Time resolved photoluminescence measurements show that the optical properties of these QDs were retained after cros...
We present a simple and facile strategy for the formation and placement of two-dimensional nanoparticle arrays by spin-coating of polystyrene-modified gold nanoparticles onto lithographically patterned substrates.
