- Resulting in the formation of magnetic/plasmonic hybrid structures
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of forming magnetic/plasmonic hybrid structures is disclosed. The method includes synthesizing colloidal magnetic nanoparticles; modifying the magnetic nanoparticles in a solution of a polymeric ligand; binding metal seed nanoparticles to the surface of the magnetic nanoparticles; and performing a seed-mediated growth on the metal seed nanoparticles by reducing a metal salt in solution to form the magnetic/plasmonic hybrid structures.
