New technique for nanostructure assembly
From
Materials with enhanced properties engineered from nanostructures have the potential to revolutionize the marketplace in everything from data processing to human medicine. However, attempts to assemble nanoscale objects into sophisticated structures have been largely unsuccessful. The UF study represents a major breakthrough in the field, showing how thermodynamic forces can be used to manipulate growth of nanoparticles into superparticles with unprecedented precision.
Proposed DDC (Double Domed Cylinder) model: radius of cylinder (R), the height of top dome (Ht), and the bottom dome (Hb)
Science – Self-Assembled Colloidal Superparticles from Nanorods
