Abstract
2D arrays of Au-PNIPAM core-shell nanocrystals were fabricated using convective deposition and spin-coating. The particle density and ordering were studied by AFM. Annealing at 700 °C removes the polymer shell, while retaining a monolayer of well-separated gold nanoparticles. The surface plasmon modes of the colloid monolayers could be measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry. © the Owner Societies. 2011.
