Controlling Pattern Formation in Nanoparticle Assemblies via Directed Solvent Dewetting

We have achieved highly localised control of pattern formation in two dimensional nanoparticle assemblies by direct modification of solvent dewetting dynamics. A striking dependence of nanoparticle organisation on the size of atomic force microscope-generated surface heterogeneities is observed and...
