标题： Room temperature self-assembly of mixed nanoparticles into complex material systems and devices

摘要： 利用原本不相容的材料制造具有复杂和结构化组成的纳米材料的能力，日益成为下一代技术的基础。 这正转化为越来越多的努力，将更广泛的材料整合到关键的技术平台上1——在光子学中，这样一个平台是二氧化硅，一种被动、低损耗且坚固的介质，对于高效的光传输至关重要2。 通过添加增益或非线性，可以实现主动功能化，这主要通过整合活性材料3, 4来实现。 不幸的是，制造二氧化硅波导所使用的高温使得目前无法整合许多对实现这种扩展功能至关重要的有机和无机物种。 在此，我们展示了使用纳米粒子自组装制造由复杂二氧化硅基材料构成的新波导和器件。 特别是，介绍了在室温下制造与有机染料（罗丹明B）和单光子发射纳米金刚石集成的二氧化硅微线。 显示英文摘要

摘要： The ability to manufacture nanomaterials with complex and structured composition using otherwise incompatible materials increasingly underpins the next generation of technologies. This is translating into growing efforts integrating a wider range of materials onto key technology platforms1 - in photonics, one such platform is silica, a passive, low loss and robust medium crucial for efficient optical transport2. Active functionalisation, either through added gain or nonlinearity, is mostly possible through the integration of active materials3, 4. The high temperatures used in manufacturing of silica waveguides, unfortunately, make it impossible to presently integrate many organic and inorganic species critical to achieving this extended functionality. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of novel waveguides and devices made up of complex silica based materials using the self-assembly of nanoparticles. In particular, the room temperature fabrication of silica microwires integrated with organic dyes (Rhodamine B) and single photon emitting nanodiamonds is presented.
