Nanoclusters: Virus‐Templated Plasmonic Nanoclusters with Icosahedral Symmetry via Directed Self‐Assembly (Small 15/2014)
Source abstract
Abstract
C. M. Soto and co-workers report a self-assembly strategy binding gold nanospheres to genetically engineered plant viruses, creating 3D plasmonic nanoclusters with icosahedral symmetry. The approach presented on page 3058 takes advantage of the straightforward production of the viruses and is capable of yielding gram quantities. This technique not only enables the control of the nanoscopic symmetry, tailoring the optical properties, but provides a pathway to develop macroscopic quantities for applications.
