title: Synthesis and thermal responsiveness of self-assembled gold nanoclusters.
abstract: A simple and versatile approach was developed to generate hierarchical assemblies of ultra-small gold nanocluster thin films using the combination of galvanic reaction and a block copolymer coordinated with gold complex. Variation of the temperature allows effective control over the optical response of these stimuli-responsive organic-nanocluster hybrid structures.
