Abstract
Silica hemispheres containing gold nanoparticle cores have been synthesized via immobilization of gold nanoparticles on a substrate and site-selective growth of silica followed by removal of the hemispherical particles. The structure of these asymmetric heteronanoparticles allows selective etching or overgrowth of the core gold seeds, which results in the respective formation of hemispherical capsules or gold homodimers.
