Abstract :
It is shown that silver nanocubes, functionalised with single stranded oligonucleotide sequences, can be decorated with smaller oligonucleotide functionalized gold nanoparticles via hybridization. This work demonstrates the suitability of silver nanocubes for DNA-mediated self-assembly and is an important advance for future work on face-specific modification of silver nanocubes.
