This study demonstrates low-temperature nanomolding utilizing enhanced diffusivity on eutectic interfaces, enabling the molding of gold nanorods at room temperature and expanding the range of materials that can be practically nanofabricated.
Nanofabrication techniques are limited by at least one of the required characteristics such as choice of material, control over geometry, fabrication requirements, yield, cost, and scalability. Our previously developed method of thermomechanical nanomolding fulfills these requirements, although it requires high processing temperatures. Here, we demonstrate low-temperature molding where we utilize the enhanced diffusivity on eutectic interfaces. Gold nanorods are molded at room temperature using Au-Si alloy as feedstock. Instead of using alloy feedstock, these eutectic interfaces can also be established through a feedstock-mold combination. We demonstrate this by using pure Au as feedstock, which is molded into Si molds at room temperature, and also the reverse, Si feedstock is molded into Au molds forming high aspect ratio Au-Si core-shell nanorods. We discuss the mechanism of this low-temperature nanomolding in terms of lower homologous temperature at the eutectic interface. This technique, based on enhanced eutectic interface diffusion, provides a practical nanofabrication method that eliminates the previous high-temperature requirements, thereby expanding the range of the materials that can be practically nanofabricated.
