  • ORDERED ASSEMBLY OF NANOPARTICLES IN SPATIALLY DEFINED REGIONS
    Publication number: 20120171448
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a method for forming an ordered assembly of nanoparticles in spatially defined regions. The method is based on migration of a dispersion of nanoparticles from a reservoir to a microchannel and controlled evaporation of the solvent in the dispersion to facilitate the formation of the ordered assembly in the microchannel. The disclosed subject matter also relates to an apparatus for preparing ordered assembly of nanoparticles, use of the ordered assembly of nanoparticles in the manufacture of materials and devices, and materials and devices based on or including such ordered assembly of nanoparticles.
