Abstract
In this feature article, we use hydrophobic ferrite (Fe3O4) nanocrystal shells filled with Au nanocrystals self-assembled into 3D superlattices and dispersed in water. These superstructures act as nano-heaters. The stability of such superstructures is very high, even for several years, when stored at room temperature. When subjected to an electron beam, the inverted structure of Fe3O4 structures is gradually dissolved due to the formation of hydrated electrons and hydroxyl radicals.

Abstract
Here, we describe water-soluble superstructures of hydrophobic nanocrystals that have been developed in recent years. We will also report on some of their properties which are still in their infancy. One of these structures, called "cluster structures", consists of hydrophobic 3D superlattices of Co or Au nanocrystals, covered with organic molecules acting like parachutes. The magnetic properties of Co "cluster structures" a retained when the superstructures is dispersed in aqueous solution. With Au "cluster structures", the longer wavelength optical scattered spectra are very broad and red-shifted, while at shorter wavelengths the localized surface plasmonic resonance of the scattered nanocrystals is retained. Moreover, the maximum of the long-wavelength signal spectra is linearly dependent on the increase in assembly size. The second superstructure was based on liquid-liquid instabilities favoring the formation of Fe3O4 nanocrystal shells (colloidosomes) filled or unfilled with Au 3D superlattices and also spherical solid crystal structures are called supraballs. Colloidosomes and supraballs in contact with cancer cells increase the density of nanocrystals in lysosomes and near the lysosomal membrane. Importantly, the structure of their organization is maintained in lysosomes for up to 8 days after internalization, while the initially dispersed hydrophilic nanocrystals are randomly aggregated. These two structures act as nanoheaters. Indeed, due to the dilution of the metallic phase, the penetration depth of visible light is much greater than that of homogeneous metallic nanoparticles of similar size. This allows for a high average heat load overall. Thus, the organic matrix acts as an internal reservoir for efficient energy accumulation within a few hundred picoseconds. A similar behavior was observed with colloidosomes, supraballs and "egg" structures, making these superstructures universal nanoheaters, and the same behavior is not observed when they are not dispersed in water (dried and deposited on a substrate). Note that colloidosomes and supraballs trigger local photothermal damage inaccessible to isolated nanocrystals and not predicted by global temperature measurements.

Abstract
Au nanoparticles (NPs) characterized by distinct surface chemistry (including dodecanethiol or oleylamine as capping agent), different sizes (∼5 and ∼10 nm) and crystallinities (polycrystalline or single crystalline), were chosen as seeds to demonstrate the versatility and robustness of our two-step core-shell Au@Ag NP synthesis process. The central component of this strategy is to solubilize the shell precursor (AgNO3) in oleylamine and to induce the growth of the shell on selected seeds under heating. The shell thickness is thus controlled by the temperature, the annealing time, the (shell precursor)/(seed) concentration ratio, seed size and crystallinity. The shell thickness is thus shown to increase with the reactant concentration and to grow faster on polycrystalline seeds. The crystalline structure and chemical composition were characterized by HRTEM, STEM-HAADF, EELS and Raman spectroscopy. The plasmonic response of Au@Ag core-shell NPs as a function of core size and shell thickness was assessed by spectrophotometry and simulated by calculations based on the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) method. Finally, the nearly monodisperse core-shell Au@Ag NPs were shown to form micrometer-scale facetted 3D fcc-ordered superlattices (SLs) after solvent evaporation and deposition on a solid substrate. These SLs are promising candidates for applications as a tunable surface-enhanced Raman scattering platform.

Abstract
The plasmonic and vibrational properties of single gold nanodisks patterned on a sapphire substrate are investigated via spatial modulation and pump-probe optical spectroscopies. The features of the measured extinction spectra and time-resolved signals are highly sensitive to minute deviations of the nanodisk morphology from a perfectly cylindrical one. An elliptical nanodisk section, as compared to a circular one, lifts the degeneracy of the two nanodisk in-plane dipolar surface plasmon resonances, which can be selectively excited by controlling the polarization of the incident light. This splitting effect, whose amplitude increases with nanodisk ellipticity, correlates with the detection of additional vibrational modes in the context of time-resolved spectroscopy. Analysis of the measurements is performed through the combination of optical and acoustic numerical models. This allows us first to estimate the dimensions of the investigated nanodisks from their plasmonic response and then to compare the measured and computed frequencies of their detectable vibrational modes, which are found to be in excellent agreement. This study demonstrates that single-particle optical spectroscopies are able to provide access to fine morphological characteristics, representing in this case a valuable alternative to traditional techniques aimed at postfabrication inspection of subwavelength nanodevice morphology.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were synthesized by reducing HAuCl4 using borane tert-butylamine complex in the presence of alkylamine (dodecylamine, hexadecylamine, and octadecylamine) and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide. Ethanol was used as an antisolvent for the postsynthesis purification of Au NPs. Au NPs had uniform size distribution after first wash with ethanol and the aggregation and growth of Au NPs happened after second wash with ethanol. The Au NPs were characterized by TEM, SEM, XRD, 1H NMR, UV-vis absorption and FTIR spectroscopy. The aggregated mechanism after the second wash with ethanol was proposed. Au NPs still retained their monodispersity after second wash compared with after first wash using the antisolvents, such as acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide and acetone. The presented results suggest that the good choice of antisolvent is critical for the postsynthesis purification of Au NPs.

Abstract
Using time-resolved ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy we investigated the electron-lattice energy transfer in small copper nanospheres with diameters ranging from 3.2 to 23 nm, either embedded in a glass or dispersed in a solvent. Electron-lattice scattering rate is shown to increase with size reduction, in agreement with our previous results obtained on gold and silver nanoparticles in the low excitation regime. We attribute this effect to the reduction of the screening efficiency of electron-phonon interactions close to the nanoparticle surface. To understand the discrepancy between the results on the electron-lattice scattering in different metals reported in the literature (reduction, no dependence or increase with nanoparticle size), we discuss the experimental conditions required for the accurate determination of electron-lattice energy transfer time from time-resolved investigations in the weak and strong excitation regimes and present power-dependent experiments on gold nanospheres in solution. Our findings are derived from a theoretical analysis based on the two-temperature model predictions and on a complete modeling of the nanoparticle transient extinction cross-section through the resolution of Boltzmann equation in the presence of hot electrons.

Abstract
The spontaneous assembly of uniform-sized globular entities into ordered arrays is a universal phenomenon observed for objects with diameters spanning a broad range of length scales. These extend from the atomic scale (10-8 cm), through molecular and macromolecular scales with proteins, synthetic low polymers, and colloidal crystals (∼10-6 cm), to the wavelength of visible light (∼10-5 cm). The associated concepts of sphere packing have had an influence in diverse fields ranging from pure geometrical analysis to architectural models or ideals. Self-assembly of atoms, supramolecules, or nanocrystals into ordered functional superstructures is a universal process and prevalent topic in science. About five billion years ago in the early solar system, highly uniform magnetite particles of a few hundred nanometers in size were assembled in 3D arrays.1 Thirty million years ago, silicate particles with submicrometer size were self-organized in the form of opal.2 Opal is colorless when composed of disordered silicate microparticles whereas it shows specific reflectivity when particles order in arrays. Nowadays, nanocrystals, characterized by a narrow size distribution and coated with alkyl chains to maintain their integrity, self-assemble to form crystallographic orders called supracrystals. Nanocrystals and supracrystals are arrangements of highly ordered atoms and nanocrystals, respectively. The morphologies of nanocrystals, supracrystals, and minerals are similar at various scales from nanometer to millimeter scale.3,4 Such suprastructures, which enable the design of novel materials, are expected to become one of the main driving forces in material research for the 21st century.5,6 Nanocrystals vibrate coherently in a supracrystal as atoms in a nanocrystal. Longitudinal acoustic phonons are detected in supracrystals as with atomic crystals, where longitudinal acoustic phonons propagate through coherent movements of atoms of the lattice out of their equilibrium positions. These vibrational properties show a full analogy with atomic crystals: In supracrystals, atoms are replaced by (uncompressible) nanocrystals and atomic bonds by coating agents (carbon chains), which act like mechanical springs holding together the nanocrystals. Electronic properties of very thick (more than a few micrometers) supracrystals reveal homogeneous conductance with the fingerprint of the isolated nanocrystal. Triangular single crystals formed by heat-induced (50 °C) coalescence of thin supracrystals deposited on a substrate as epitaxial growth of metal particles on a substrate with specific orientation produced by ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). Here we demonstrate that marked changes can occur in the chemical and physical properties of nanocrystals differing by their nanocrystallinity, that is, their crystalline structure. Furthermore, the properties (mechanical, growth processes) of supracrystals also change with the nanocrystallinity of the nanoparticles used as building blocks.

Abstract
Mechanical vibrational resonances in metal nanoparticles are intensively studied because they provide insight into nanoscale elasticity and for their potential application to ultrasensitive mass detection. In this paper, we use broadband femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy to study the longitudinal acoustic phonons of arrays of gold nanorods with different aspect ratios, fabricated by electron beam lithography with very high size uniformity. We follow in real time the impulsively excited extensional oscillations of the nanorods by measuring the transient shift of the localized surface plasmon band. Broadband and high-sensitivity detection of the time-dependent extinction spectra enables one to develop a model that quantitatively describes the periodic variation of the plasmon extinction coefficient starting from the steady-state spectrum with only one additional free parameter. This model allows us to retrieve the time-dependent elongation of the nanorods with an ultrahigh sensitivity and to measure oscillation amplitudes of just a few picometers and plasmon energy shifts on the order of 10(-2) meV.
