Abstract
In this paper we show that the use of colloidal assemblies as templates favors the control of the size and shape of nanoparticles. As expected theoretically, the change in size and shape of copper metal nanosized particles induces changes in their optical properties. Cylindrical copper metal particles having the same size and shape can be obtained in various regions of the phase diagram when the template is made of interconnected cylinders. Self-assembly of silver metal nanoparticles is reported. Monolayers of particles organized in a hexagonal network are formed over very large domains. Small or large aggregates can also be produced, and, in these aggregates, the particles are highly organized and form pseudo-crystals with a face-centered cubic structure for various particles sizes. The optical properties of the silver nanoparticles isolated in micellar solution or self-assembled in 2D or 3D supperlattices are reported. Syntheses of magnetic fluids differing in their particle size are presented. The magnetic properties differ with the particle size.
