title: Effect of substrate on particle arrangement in arrays formed by self-assembly of polymer grafted nanoparticles.
abstract: We show that the substrate affects the interparticle spacing in monolayer arrays with hexagonal order formed by self-assembly of polymer grafted nanoparticles. Remarkably, arrays with square packing were formed due to convective shearing at a liquid surface induced by miscibility of colloidal solution with the substrate.
