Understanding and Reducing Photothermal Forces for the Fabrication of Au Nanoparticle Dimers by Optical Printing
Optical printing holds great potential to enable the use of the vast variety of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) in nano- and microdevices and circuits. By means of optical forces, it enables the direct assembly of NPs, one by one, onto specific positions of solid surfaces with great flexibility of pat...
