Self-Assembled Electrical Contact to Nanoparticles Using Metallic Droplets

Self‐assembly of nanoparticles on liquid‐metal droplets (see image) provides a simple, effective approach to electronic devices with nanoscale control of the metal/nanoparticle junctions. This approach enables the inexpensive fabrication of a large number of devices and deposition on large‐area subs...

Summary:Self‐assembly of nanoparticles on liquid‐metal droplets (see image) provides a simple, effective approach to electronic devices with nanoscale control of the metal/nanoparticle junctions. This approach enables the inexpensive fabrication of a large number of devices and deposition on large‐area substrates.
