Colloidal Synthesis of Nanohelices via Bilayer Lattice Misfit

from Journal of the American Chemical Society

Colloidal Synthesis of Nanohelices via Bilayer Lattice Misfit Journal of the American Chemical Society Helical structures are ubiquitous in natural and synthetic materials across multiple length scales. Excellent and sometimes unusual chiral optical, mechanical, and sensing properties have been previously demonstrated in such symmetry-breaking shape, yet a general principle to realize helical structures at the sub-100 nm scale via colloidal synthesis remains underexplored. In this work, we describe the wet-chemical synthesis of monodisperse nanohelices based on gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3).  READ MORE
