A simple strategy for the fabrication of films of binary nanoparticle assemblies is introduced, with dynamic control over the configuration of gold nanorods and nanospheres achieved through the melting of liquid-crystal-like nanoparticle ligands. This approach provides a route for preparing hierarchical nanoparticle superstructures with applications in reversibly switchable, visible-range plasmonic technologies.
Self-assembly of metal nanoparticles has applications in the fabrication of optically active materials. Here, we introduce a facile strategy for the fabrication of films of binary nanoparticle assemblies. Dynamic control over the configuration of gold nanorods and nanospheres is achieved via the melting of bound and unbound fractions of liquid-crystal-like nanoparticle ligands. This approach provides a route for the preparation of hierarchical nanoparticle superstructures with applications in reversibly switchable, visible-range plasmonic technologies.
