Figure 18 Comparison of optical absorption data and TEM images (at the same magnification) for two gold samples irradiated by laser pulses having the same fluence (0.25 J cm ) and different pulse width. Top with a 7-nsec laser pulse at 800 nm. (a) Partial melting of the gold nanorods and (b) selective optical hole burning in the near-IR band corresponding to the nanorods. Bottom with laser pulses of 100 fsec. (c) Complete melting of the gold nanorods into nanodots and (d) complete depletion of the nanorod band. (From Ref 211.)...

Surface micelles of fluorinated amphiphiles have potential as templates for the elaboration of metallic nanodot arrays. Hexagonal arrays of gold and silver nanodots, a few nM in size, have been observed by AFM to form when a thin layer of metal was deposited through vacuum evaporation on a silicon wafer covered with hemimicelles of the F8H16 diblock (E. Charrault, P. Muller, M. Maaloum, M.P. Krafft, C. Petit, P. Petit, unpublished).

Other materials synthesized using this template include nickel metal nanodots or nanowires,Au-Ti02 mesoporous nanocomposites,double-gyroid-patterned platinum films, CdSe nanorods for solar cells, Ni nanopillars on GaAs for optoelectronics, and gold nanoparticles for biosensors. ...
