Researchers create nanoparticle thin films that self-assemble in one minute

Monday, June 9, 2014 - 13:40 in Physics & Chemistry

The days of self-assembling nanoparticles taking hours to form a film over a microscopic-sized wafer are over. Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have devised a technique whereby self-assembling nanoparticle arrays can form a highly ordered thin film over macroscopic distances in one minute.
