title: One-dimensional metal nanowire assembly via block copolymer soft graphoepitaxy.
abstract: We accomplished a facile and scalable route to linearly stacked, one-dimensional metal nanowire assembly via soft graphoepitaxy of block copolymers. A one-dimensional nanoscale lamellar stack could be achieved by controlling the block copolymer film thickness self-assembled within the disposable topographic confinement and utilized as a template to generate linear metal nanowire assembly. The mechanism underlying this interesting morhpology evolution was investigated by self-consistent field theory. The optical properties of metal nanowire assembly involved with surface plasmon polariton were investigated by first principle calculations.
