The nanoparticles used were synthesized in an organic medium and then were subjected to digestive ripening to finally yield monodisperse nanoparticles. A simple drop casting on TEM grid lead to the results observed. Based on the thermo gravimetric analysis, it is hypothesized that inclusion of the particles in Au(I)-thiolate template is mainly responsible for the formation of linear assembly.

As-synthesized particles show a sharp low temperature peak in zero-field cooled (ZFC) magnetization well below the blocking transition temperature and this feature is associated with surface spin disorder. We have investigated the dynamic magnetic properties of Co using ac susceptibility and resonant RF transverse susceptibility (TS). We also studied the memory and relaxation effects in these nanoparticle systems. From these measurements we show a typical blocking behavior of an assembly of superparamagnetic nanoparticles with a wide distribution of blocking temperatures. The transverse susceptibility measurements on these particles show the presence of anisotropy even above the blocking temperature. The role of surface anisotropy and the size distribution of the particles on the observed memory and magnetic relaxation effects are discussed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Conference on Advanced Nano-Materials, Indian Inst Technol, Phys Dept, Bombay, INDIA, JAN 08-10, 2007</style></notes><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.351</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sidhaye, Deepti S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bala, Tanushree</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Srinath, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Srikanth, H.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poddar, Pankaj</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sastry, Murali</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhagavatula L.

It is observed that at an optimum concentration of SDS and oleic acid, nearly monodisperse Ni nanoparticles are obtained that form highly ordered hexagonally close-packed structures on electron microscopy grids by a simple drop coating procedure.

Many ligands including long chain thiols, amines, or phosphines have been shown to be effective digestive ripening agents. It is hypothesized that the surface active groups of such digestive ripening agents bind and remove reactive surface atoms/clusters from big nanoparticles and redeposit them on smaller nanoparticles. In this way, large particles become smaller, while small particles become larger, and eventually, an equilibrium size is obtained that is specific to each of the digestive ripening agents used. Herein, the digestive ripening procedure is reviewed, discussed and its utility spanning the preparation of monodispersed metal nanoparticles, alloy nanoparticles, superlattice structures and the most interesting nano-machining (wherein the monodisperse particles can be reverted back to the polydisperse system) is demonstrated.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;2.80&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shimpi, Jayesh Ramesh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sidhaye, Deepti S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prasad, Bhagavatula L V</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Digestive ripening: a fine chemical machining process on the nanoscale</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Langmuir </style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MAY</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A comprehensive over view of the process named as 'digestive ripening' that is known to convert polydisperse nanocrystals to monodisperse ones is presented. Apart from highlighting the role of organic molecules (ligands) in achieving size control the role of other parameters like the nanocrystal-ligand binding strength and the temperature at which the reaction is carried out in accomplishing size control is also delineated. The generality of the procedure is illustrated by providing examples of how it is used to prepare monodispersed nanocrystals of different metals, alloy systems, ultra small nanocrystals and also to narrow the size distribution in complex binary and ternary nanocrystal systems. Finally, the current status as far as the theoretical understanding of how the size control is being achieved by digestive ripening is laid out, emphasizing at the same time the necessity to undertake more systematic studies to completely realize the full potential of this practically very useful procedure.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">38</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.993</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
