Regioselective Deposition of Metals on Seeds within a Polymer Matrix

Liliang Huang et al.

Summary: Scanning probe block copolymer lithography was used to explore the deposition of secondary metals on nanoparticle seeds in a two-step sequential manner. The occurrence of heterogeneous and homogeneous growth can be rationalized using the concepts of bond strength and lattice mismatch. The resulting nanoparticle structure depends on the degree of lattice mismatch, and heterodimer nanoparticles as seeds lead to asymmetric deposition of secondary metals.
