The Core Matters: Aggregation of Neutral Ligand-Coated Nanoparticles in Membranes

The aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) influences their optical properties, including localized surface plasmon resonance, through plasmonic coupling between adjacent particles. For hydrophobic AuNPs embedded in lipid membranes, however, the mechanisms governing aggregation remain poorly understood. Although coa...
