Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of Silver Nanospheres into Nanobelts and Triangular Nanoplates through a Thermal Process
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the light present in an ordinary chemical laboratory was sufficiently strong to transform some spherical nanoparticles into small triangular nanoplates, and that refluxing provided the driving force to facilitate the Ostwald ripening process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold Nanocages: From Synthesis to Theranostic Applications
Younan Xia,Weiyang Li,Claire M. Cobley,Jingyi Chen,Xiaohu Xia,Qiang Zhang,Miaoxin Yang,Eun Chul Cho,Paige Brown +8 more
TL;DR: Gold nanocages are described as tracers for tracking by multiphoton luminescence and can serve as drug delivery vehicles for controlled and localized release in response to external stimuli such as NIR radiation or high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex Optical Surfaces Formed by Replica Molding Against Elastomeric Masters
TL;DR: The versatility of this procedure for fabricating surfaces with complex, micrometer- and submicrometers-scale patterns was demonstrated by the production of diffraction gratings with periods smaller than the original grating.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape-Controlled Synthesis of Colloidal Metal Nanocrystals: Thermodynamic versus Kinetic Products
TL;DR: This Perspective provides a contemporary understanding of the shape evolution of colloidal metal nanocrystals under thermodynamically and kinetically controlled conditions and extends the mechanistic insights learnt to account for the products of conventional one-pot syntheses that involve self-nucleation only.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold nanostructures: a class of multifunctional materials for biomedical applications
TL;DR: This tutorial review will discuss the most critical properties of gold nanostructures for biomedical applications: surface chemistry, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), and morphology.
