Heterodimeric particle assemblies: preparation of anisotropically connected spherical silica particles via surface-bound gold nanoparticles.

Assemblies of heterodimeric particles were prepared through selective coupling of two kinds of spherical silica particles of different sizes by connection with gold nanoparticles attached anisotropically to the particles.
