Metal nanoparticle/polymer superlattice films: Fabrication and control of layer structure

Abstract

Multilayer superlattices incorporating colloidal metal nanoparticles have been synthesized by an approach based on self‐assembly. Teh method of synthesis is described and the results are presented from X‐ray reflectivity measurements, optical spectroscopy, and various microscopies, showing that they provide a consistent picture of the structure of the resulting multilayer superlattices (see Figure). fig. magnified image
