Precise Structural Engineering and Finely-Tunable Properties of Two Dimensional Plasmonic Nanoparticle Assemblies QIANQIAN SHI 10.4225/03/5ac55545a5b5e https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesis/Precise_Structural_Engineering_and_Finely-Tunable_Properties_of_Two_Dimensional_Plasmonic_Nanoparticle_Assemblies/6057608 This thesis introduces three model systems to precisely engineer the structure and finely tune properties of 2D plasmonic nanoassemblies. The first one demonstrated a new system with “one particle building blocks, different particle arrangements”; the second system showed nanoassemblies with “one original nanosheet, different generations of transformed nanosheets”; the last system represented “one system, different kinds of building blocks”. These systems allow us to have a better understanding of the structure and plasmonic properties relationship of nanoparticles, show us the possibility of manipulating building blocks in a precise manner, and introduce additional novel properties into 2D plasmonic systems. 2018-04-04 22:44:19 plasmonic self-assembly two-dimensional nanoparticles Nanofabrication, Growth and Self Assembly Nanomaterials
