A Microshutter for the Nanofabrication of Plasmonic Metal Alloys with Single Nanoparticle Composition Control.

ABSTRACT: Alloying offers an increasingly important handle in nanomaterials design in addition to the already widely explored size and geometry of nanostructures of interest. As the key trait, the mixing of elements at the atomic level enables nanomaterials with physical or chemical properties that cannot be obtained by a single element alone, and subtle compositional variations can significantly impact these properties. Alongside the great potential of alloying, the experimental scrutiny of its impact on nanomaterial function is a challenge because the parameter space that encompasses nanostructure size, geometry, chemical composition, and structural atomic-level differences among individuals is vast and requires unrealistically large sample sets if statistically relevant and systematic data are to
