Open publisher page 31 citations

Abstract

A convenient technique for transferring nanoparticles in a one-particle-at-a-time fashion is presented. This technique, termed as single particle dip-pen nanolithography, employs an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip to “grab” individual gold nanoparticles on surfaces. The nanoparticles attached to the AFM tips can be then controllably released and redeposited site specifically on surfaces. Patterns composed of single gold particles have been fabricated.
