Colloidal self-assembly refers to a solution-processed assembly of nanometer-/micrometer-
sized, well-dispersed particles into secondary structures, whose collective properties are …

Although gold is the subject of one of the most ancient themes of investigation in science, its
renaissance now leads to an exponentially increasing number of publications, especially in …

A historical perspective of the development of spherical nucleic acid (SNA) conjugates and
other three-dimensional nucleic acid nanostructures is provided. This Perspective details the …

The focus of nanoscience and nanotechnology is gradually shifting from the synthesis of
individual components to their assembly into larger systems and nanostructured materials …

Particles in the nanometer size range are attracting increasing attention with the growth of
interest in nanotechnological disciplines. Nanoparticles display fascinating electronic and …

In this report, we evaluate the present state of the rapidly emerging field of monolayer-
protected cluster (MPC) molecules with regard to their synthesis and monolayer …

In this paper, we explore the optical properties of Ag nanoparticles chemically modified with
alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) by measuring the localized surface plasmon …

Crystal phase, an intrinsic characteristic of crystalline materials, is one of the key parameters
to determine their physicochemical properties. Recently, great progress has been made in …

This review examines the use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold as nanoscale
protective coatings for both nominally flat substrates and for nanoparticles. The thermal and …

The self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles has made it possible to bridge the nanoscopic
and macroscopic worlds and to make complex nanostructures. The nanoparticle-mediated …
