Article Synopsis
- The study demonstrates that using oriented arrays of smectic A defects, termed smectic oily streaks, can effectively orient gold nanorods (GNRs) across a range of sizes and ligands.
- It was found that increasing the density of small GNRs led to the formation of oriented end-to-end chains, revealing their alignment predominantly along the oily streaks.
- The research also highlights the electromagnetic coupling of the GNRs, showing that their orientation influences their luminescence and interaction, which is further affected by van der Waals forces and steric repulsion between them.
