Abstract

Advances in lithographic and synthetic techniques have enabled the fabrication of a variety of complex structures on the nanoscale. In particular, the synthesis of metal nanoparticles has remained a major field of research in the last few decades since such particles show extraordinary optical properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Here, we present the use of coaxial lithography methodology to prepare metal nanorings with high precision in all three architectural parameters (with diameters ranging from 25 to 400 nm), as well as the compatibility of this technique with a variety of different single composition metals (including Au, Ag, Pt). 

Portions of this chapter have been published in Nano Letters 15 (8), 5273 (2015).

Co-authors of this work: Michael. J. Ashley, Michael B. Ross, Gilles R. Bourret, George C. Schatz, Chad A. Mirkin.
