Although the experimental study of spherical colloids has been extensive, similar studies on
rodlike particles are rare because suitable model systems are scarcely available. To fulfill …

A new approach for the synthesis of colloidal gold shell particles with a dielectric core is
described. Small gold nanoclusters were attached to the functionalized surface of colloidal silica …

We report on a new type of composite particles consisting of a zinc sulfide (ZnS) core and a
silica (SiO 2 ) shell or vice versa. We developed and optimized these particles for photonic …

A general method to coat colloids with silica is described. The amphiphilic, nonionic polymer
poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) was adsorbed to various colloidal particles such as small gold …

In this work, we show strong experimental evidence in favor of a proposed incorporation
mechanism of hydrophobic semiconductor nanocrystals (or quantum dots, QDs) in …

We describe the synthesis and characterization of stable suspensions of monodisperse
fluorescently labeled silica dumbbell particles. Pure dispersions of silica dumbbells with center-to…

Ultra-high-resolution small-angle X-ray scattering in various colloidal photonic crystals is
reported. It is demonstrated that an angular resolution of about two microradians is readily …

Accurate distance measurement in 3D confocal microscopy is important for quantitative
analysis, volume visualization and image restoration. However, axial distances can be distorted …

We describe a novel method to synthesize colloidal particles with an eccentric core−shell
structure. Titania−silica core−shell particles were synthesized by silica coating of porous titania …

We describe a general one-pot method for coating colloidal particles with amorphous titania.
Various colloidal particles such as silica particles, large silver colloids, gibbsite platelets, …
