Journal ArticleDOI

Unconventional Methods for Fabricating and Patterning Nanostructures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an approach to size reduction using topographically directed etching with neutral metastable atoms (NMT) and near field phase-shifting photolithography.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyol Synthesis of Ultrathin Pd Nanowires via Attachment-Based Growth and Their Enhanced Activity towards Formic Acid Oxidation

TL;DR: In this article, the polyol method was used to synthesize ultrathin nanowires with a wavy morphology, which showed a catalytic current density of 2.5 times higher than the conventional Pd/C catalyst towards formic acid oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of controlled reactive spreading of liquid alkanethiol on the surface of gold to modify the size of features produced by microcontact Printing

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a procedure that uses the controlled reactive spreading of a liquid on a solid surf-ace to reduce the size of features produced by microcontact printing (rCP).
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting gold nanocages to cancer cells for photothermal destruction and drug delivery

TL;DR: Gold nanocages are a promising platform for cancer therapy in terms of both photothermal destruction and drug delivery, and a new class of plasmonic nanoparticles, for photothermal applications are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative Analysis of Dipole and Quadrupole Excitation in the Surface Plasmon Resonance of Metal Nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this article, the optical extinction spectra of silver nanocubes with the edge length ranging from 15 to 200 nm was calculated by using the discrete dipole approximation method, and an increasing number of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peaks appeared in the optical spectra, and their positions changed when the nanocube size increases.
