The structure and stability of colloidal nanoparticle assemblies

Thiol-passivated gold nanoparticies deposited onto a silicon substrate from an organic solvent form a remarkable variety of self-organised nanostructured and microstructured patterns. The work in this thesis focuses on three key aspects of these systems: (i) their environmental stability, (ii) the f...
