MURI Goal 1: design and fabrication of nanoshells and nanoparticle assemblies
refinement of current growth method (e.g., Sn seed)
multiwall nanoshells (3-5 mm)
birefringent nanoshells (doublets)
other shell metals (Cu, Ni, Fe, etc.)
new shell materials (conducting polymers)
artificial diatomics (colloid-colloid complexes)
