Understanding how nanoparticles self-assemble into specific structures is important in biology. The self-assembly structures of disc-shaped nanoparticles are investigated using Gay Berne potential. Through the simulated annealing Monte Carlo simulation underNVTcondition, we found that various nanostructures such as nematic phase and isotropic phase are discovered. The formation mechanism of these novel nanostructures is discussed.

Enhanced Raman Scattering

In this paper, we summarize our results on the effect of changing size and shape of semiconductor and metallic nanocrystals. The change in size (from 3.5 to 1.1 nm) and shape (from spherical to rod) of CdSe nanocrystals is found to affect both their optical and nonradiative properties. In gold quasi-spherical nanocrystals, results on the dependence of the electron-phonon relaxation of the surrounding medium are presented. For gold nanorods, results and conclusions on the mechanism of their self-assembly are presented. Enhanced Raman scattering on their surfaces is studied and compared with that on spherical particle surfaces.

Two kinds of cone-shaped particles are designed: one with a Janus structure and the other with a sandwich structure. The effects of the cone angle and particle structure (i.e. AB type and BAB type) on the kinetic pathway and assembled structures are discussed.
