  • Title: Linear self-assembly of nanoparticles within liquid crystal defect arrays.
    Author: Coursault D, Grand J, Zappone B, Ayeb H, Lévi G, Félidj N, Lacaze E.
    Journal: Adv Mater; 2012 Mar 15; 24(11):1461-5. PubMed ID: 22318807.
    Abstract:
    In the presence of oriented smectic liquid crystal defects, hybrid systems of nanoparticles/liquid crystals form straight chains of nanoparticles of length longer than tens of micrometers and width equal to one single nanoparticle. The interparticle distance in a chain can be varied between a few micrometers and 1.5 nm, highlighting the control of optical absorption by light polarization monitored by gold nanoparticle concentration.
