摘要：

We are interested in fabricating well-organized assemblies of nanosized materials with wet chemical approaches for the purpose of investigating various interfacial and mesoscopic phenomena. The paper describes how to use self-assembling techniques to prepare assemblies of colloidal nanoparticles and single walled carbon nanotubes on solid surfaces. Gold nanocolloids are taken as the model system, including preparation of functionalized nanoparticles, assembling on tailored substrates, surface reorganization, and 1D, 0D controlled assembling with the aid of scanning probe lithography. The typical work we have been doing using these elaborated nanoparticle assemblies includes, the quantitative investigations of die electromagnetic coupling of particle-particle and particle-substrate in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), the single electron tunneling in nanoparticle assemblies measured with scanning probe microscopy (SPM) technique, the atomic force microscopy (AFM) lithography using the surface-confined gold nanoparticles as mask.
