Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The design principles for plasmonic nanostructures are reviewed, and how DNA has been applied to build finite-number assemblies, regularly spaced nanoparticle chains and extended two- and three-dimensional ordered arrays are discussed.
Abstract
This article reviews the use of DNA motifs to build plasmonic molecules, polymers and crystals from individual plasmonic nanostructures.

DNA-based self-assembly of chiral plasmonic nanostructures with tailored optical response

TL;DR: It is shown that DNA origami enables the high-yield production of plasmonic structures that contain nanoparticles arranged in nanometre-scale helices, and it is found that the structures in solution exhibit defined circular dichroism and optical rotatory dispersion effects at visible wavelengths that originate from the collective plAsmon–plasmon interactions of the nanoparticles positioned with an accuracy better than two nanometres.

Improved Size-Tunable Synthesis of Monodisperse Gold Nanorods through the Use of Aromatic Additives

TL;DR: An improved synthesis of colloidal gold nanorods (NRs) is reported by using aromatic additives that reduce the concentration of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant to ~0.05 M as opposed to 0.1 M in well-established protocols.
