Designing nanoscale metal particles for higher order assembly

Abstract

Engineering matter at the nanoscale to fine tune the properties associated with miniaturization has been a major challenge and opportunity for the physicists material scientists chemists and biologists across the globe For example fabrication of higher order ensemble nanostructures of zero dimensional plasmonic and luminescent nanoscale particles via various chemical and physical means is likely to generate newer physicochemical properties which could be of potential interest for various ap
