Solvent-Mediated Crystallization of Nanocrystal 3D Assemblies of Silver Nanocrystals: Unexpected Superlattice Ripening
Solventâligand
interactions in colloidal nanocrystals are
of significant importance as they can be used to modulate the way
they pack into superlattices. Here, we demonstrate that the crystal
structures of the nanocrystal superlattices made of 2.2 nm Ag nanocrystals
can be controlled by using different carrier solvents. Specifically,
the superlattice structures are tuned from body-centered cubic (<i>bcc</i>) to face-centered cubic (<i>fcc</i>) when
varying solvents from hexane to tetrachloroethylene (TCE). Furthermore,
by simultaneously annealing these two samples at different temperatures, <i>bcc</i> structures originating from hexane solutions are dominated
by a simple coalescence mechanism, while the <i>fcc</i> structure
stemming from TCE solutions undergoes an Ostwald ripening process
that can produce a variety of binary nanocrystal superlattices such
as NaCl, AlB<sub>2</sub>, NaZn<sub>13</sub>, and MgZn<sub>2</sub>,
the formation of those structures being well explained by a pure entropy
driven process. This is believed to be due to variations in the ligand
coverage ratio of the nanocrystals in different solvents that are
changing the superlattice structuresâ stability. Those findings
provide insights into the solvent-mediated nanocrystal superlattices
and the Ostwald ripening process in nanocrystal superlattices
MetalâMetal Binary Nanoparticle Superlattices: A Case Study of Mixing Co and Ag Nanoparticles
Here,
Co/Ag binary nanoparticle superlattices were engineered.
It is demonstrated that the Ag/Co nanoparticle size ratio is the dominating
factor in the formation of binary nanoparticle superlattices. However,
regardless of the relative ratio concentration of Co and Ag nanoparticles,
the deposition temperature, <i>T</i><sub>d</sub> markedly
changes the crystalline structure of binary superlattices. A systematic
study of these parameters is presented in order to shed light on the
driving force in the formation of binary metallic nanoparticle superlattices.
For metal Co and Ag nanoparticles, the interparticle potential pairs
are considered to be strong, but entropy is still the main driving
force for the assembling into binary nanoparticle superlattices, rather
than the energy arising from the interparticle interactions
Computational Matching of Surface Plasmon Resonance: Interactions between Silver Nanoparticles and Ligands
A multilayer
model of a single coated nanoparticle has been refined
through finite elements method based simulations and resulted in a
successful matching of the experimental UVâvisible spectra
of ligand-coated silver nanoparticles. The computational matching
of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band reveals both a ligand-type
dependence of the effective plasma frequency and a size dependence
of the SPR damping effect within the modeled nanoparticle. The observed
differences of effective plasma frequency between thiol and amine-coated
nanoparticles are consistent with the already known stronger bonding
of thiols on silver compared to amines. The significant increase of
the damping effect at the surface of the nanoparticle when increasing
their size suggests an inverse relation between the ligand packing
density and the nanoparticle size, which is supported by the expected
influence of the surface curvature radius on the ligand packing
Ligand Exchange Governs the Crystal Structures in Binary Nanocrystal Superlattices
The
surface chemistry in colloidal nanocrystals on the final crystalline
structure of binary superlattices produced by self-assembly of two
sets of nanocrystals is hereby demonstrated. By mixing nanocrystals
having two different sizes and the same coating agent, oleylamine
(OAM), the binary nanocrystal superlattices that are produced, such
as NaCl, AlB<sub>2</sub>, NaZn<sub>13</sub>, and MgZn<sub>2</sub>,
are well in agreement with the crystalline structures predicted by
the hard-sphere model, their formation being purely driven by entropic
forces. By opposition, when large and small nanocrystals are coated
with two different ligands [OAM and dodecanethiol (DDT), respectively]
while keeping all other experimental conditions unchanged, the final
binary structures markedly change and various structures with lower
packing densities, such as Cu<sub>3</sub>Au, CaB<sub>6</sub>, and
quasicrystals, are observed. This effect of the nanocrystalsâ
coating agents could also be extended to other binary systems, such
as AgâAu and CoFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>âAg supracrystalline
binary lattices. In order to understand this effect, a mechanism based
on ligand exchange process is proposed. Ligand exchange mechanism
is believed to affect the thermodynamics in the formation of binary
systems composed of two sets of nanocrystals with different sizes
and bearing two different coating agents. Hence, the formation of
binary superlattices with lower packing densities may be favored kinetically
because the required energetic penalty is smaller than that of a denser
structure
Beyond Entropy: Magnetic Forces Induce Formation of Quasicrystalline Structure in Binary Nanocrystal Superlattices
Here,
it is shown that binary superlattices of Co/Ag nanocrystals
with the same size, surface coating, differing by their type of crystallinity
are governed by CoâCo magnetic interactions. By using 9 nm
amorphous-phase Co nanocrystals and 4 nm polycrystalline Ag nanocrystals
at 25 °C, triangle-shaped NaCl-type binary nanocrystal superlattices
are produced driven by the entropic force, maximizing the packing
density. By contrast, using ferromagnetic 9 nm single domain (<i>hcp</i>) Co nanocrystals instead of amorphous-phase Co, dodecagonal
quasicrystalline order is obtained, together with less-packed phases
such as the CoAg<sub>13</sub> (NaZn<sub>13</sub>-type), CoAg (AuCu-type),
and CoAg<sub>3</sub> (AuCu<sub>3</sub>-type) structures. On increasing
temperature to 65 °C, 9 nm <i>hcp</i> Co nanocrystals
become superparamagnetic, and the system yields the CoAg<sub>3</sub> (AuCu<sub>3</sub>-type) and CoAg<sub>2</sub> (AlB<sub>2</sub>-type)
structures, as observed with 9 nm amorphous Co nanocrystals. Furthermore,
by decreasing the Co nanocrystal size from 9 to 7 nm, stable AlB<sub>2</sub>-type binary nanocrystal superlattices are produced, which
remain independent of the crystallinity of Co nanocrystals with the
superparamagnetic state
Surface Plasmon Resonance Properties of Silver Nanocrystals Differing in Size and Coating Agent Ordered in 3D Supracrystals
Silver nanocrystals differing in
coating agent and size self-assembled
into thin supracrystalline films. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR)
properties of these assemblies are presented herein. Nanocrystal size,
interparticle distance, and coating agent play key roles in the plasmonic
coupling of Ag nanocrystals within supracrystals. Here, we demonstrate
experimentally that the predictions for 2D self-assemblies remains
valid for thin 3D superlattices. The absorption spectra in the visible
range were found to be markedly dependent on the incidence of the
light source and confirmed the appearance of a splitting of the dipolar
surface band into two components at increasing incidence angle. The
major parameter inducing the splitting of the SPR band was found to
be the relative ratio between the average distance of the nanocrystals
and their diameters. The nature of the coating agent was also found
to be of particular importance: Theoretical predictions and experimental
data were in agreement for alkylamine-coated nanocrystals but differed
for thiol-coated nanocrystals
Effect of Divalent Counterions on Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Properties
When exposed to divalent counterion
solutions, polyelectrolyte
multilayer (PEM) films of polyÂ(diallylÂdimethylÂammonium
chloride) and sodium polyÂ(styreneÂsulfonate) (NaPSS) prepared
in the presence of monovalent salt, or equilibrated with such a salt,
are physically cross-linked by divalent counterion incorporation,
altering PEM properties significantly. The rapid cross-linking was
monitored by the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D)
method, which finds PEM deswelling and rigidification after exposures
to a low concentration of CuÂ(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>; at higher
concentration, deswelling is countered by increased PEM uptake of
the salt, which disrupts polyelectrolyteâpolyelectrolyte ion
pairs. Divalent ion incorporation into PEMs has the character of ion
exchange, and incorporated divalent ions are quickly and completely
removed when presented with monovalent salt solution but not with
water. While counterion cross-linking extends across the bulk of the
PEM, the fraction of exchanged counterions remains low. Entropically
driven binding of divalent ions to NaPSS in solution was studied for
CuÂ(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub> and other divalent nitrate salts by
isothermal titration microcalorimetry and dynamic light scattering
to support the QCM-D conclusions
