AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers created mixed silver and gold nanoparticle structures using DNA to control their assembly.
- These nanoparticle architectures have unique optical properties that can be adjusted based on their arrangement and composition.
- The study shows that how these metallic particles are organized affects their color and reflectivity, which is important for applications in thin films.
Article Abstract
Mixed silver and gold plasmonic nanoparticle architectures are synthesized using DNA-programmable assembly, unveiling exquisitely tunable optical properties that are predicted and explained both by effective thin-film models and explicit electrodynamic simulations. These data demonstrate that the manner and ratio with which multiple metallic components are arranged can greatly alter optical properties, including tunable color and asymmetric reflectivity behavior of relevance for thin-film applications.
