Abstract
BACKGROUND Precise localized printing of plasmonic nanoparticles at desired locations can find a plethora of applications in diverse areas, including nanophotonics, nanomedicine, and microelectronics. The focused laser beam-assisted optical printing technique has illustrated its potential for the localized printing of differently shaped plasmonic particles. However, the technique is either time-consuming or often requires focused optical radiation, limiting its practical applications. While the optothermal printing technique has recently emerged as a promising technique for the direct and rapid printing of plasmonic nanoparticles onto transparent substrates at lower laser intensities, its potential to print the plasmonic nanoparticles to the core of the optical fiber platforms and utilize it for biological cell trapping as well as an analytical platform remains unexplored. RESULTS Herein, we demonstrate the thermal-convection-assisted printing of the Ag plasmonic nanoparticles from the plasmonic colloidal solution onto the core of single-mode optical fiber and its multi-functional applications. The direct printing of plasmonic structure on the fiber core via the thermal-convection mechanism is devoid of the requirement of any additional chemical ligand to the fiber core. Further, we demonstrated the potential of the developed plasmonic fiber probe as a multifunctional surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) platform for sensing, chemical reaction monitoring, and single-cell studies. The developed SERS fiber probe is found to detect crystal violet in an aqueous solution as low as 100 pM, with a plasmonic enhancement of 107. Additionally, the capability of the fiber-tip platform to monitor the surface plasmon-driven chemical reaction of 4-nitrothiophenol (4NTP) dimerizing into p, p'-dimercaptoazobenzene (DMAB) is demonstrated. Further, the versatility of the fiber probe as an effective platform for opto-thermophoretic trapping of single biological cells such as yeast, along with its Raman spectroscopic studies, is also shown here. SIGNIFICANCE In this study, we illustrate for the first time the optothermal direct printing of plasmonic nanoparticles onto the core of a single-mode fiber. Further, the study demonstrates that such plasmonic nanoparticle printed fiber tip can act as a multi-functional analytical platform for optothermally trap biological particles as well as monitoring plasmon-driven chemical reactions. In addition, the plasmonic fiber tip can be used as a cost-effective SERS analytical platform and is thus expected to find applications in diverse areas.

Abstract
Localized surface plasmons are lossy and generate heat. However, accurate measurement of the temperature of metallic nanoparticles under illumination remains an open challenge, creating difficulties in the interpretation of results across plasmonic applications. Particularly, there is a quest for understanding the role of temperature in plasmon-assisted catalysis. Bimetallic nanoparticles combining plasmonic with catalytic metals are raising increasing interest in artificial photosynthesis and the production of solar fuels. Here, we perform single-particle thermometry measurements to investigate the link between morphology and light-to-heat conversion of colloidal Au/Pd nanoparticles with two different configurations: core-shell and core-satellite. It is observed that the inclusion of Pd as a shell strongly reduces the photothermal response in comparison to the bare cores, while the inclusion of Pd as satellites keeps photothermal properties almost unaffected. These results contribute to a better understanding of energy conversion processes in plasmon-assisted catalysis.

Abstract
Optical printing is a flexible strategy to precisely pattern plasmonic nanoparticles for the realization of nanophotonic devices. However, the generation of strongly coupled plasmonic dimers by sequential particle printing can be a challenge. Here, we report an approach to generate and pattern dimer nanoantennas in a single step by optical splitting of individual gold nanorods with laser light. We show that the two particles that constitute the dimer can be separated by sub-nanometer distances. The nanorod splitting process is explained by a combination of plasmonic heating, surface tension, optical forces, and inhomogeneous hydrodynamic pressure introduced by a focused laser beam. This realization of optical dimer formation and printing from a single nanorod provides a means for dimer patterning with high accuracy for nanophotonic applications.

Abstract
Obtaining arrays of single nanoparticles with three-dimensional complex shapes is still an open challenge. Current nanolithography methods do not allow for the preparation of nanoparticles with complex features like nanostars. In this work, we investigate the optical printing of gold nanostars of different sizes as a function of laser wavelength and power. We found that tuning the laser to the main resonances of the nanostars in the near-infrared makes it possible to avoid nanoparticles reshaping due to plasmonic heating, enabling their deposition at the single particle level and in ordered arrays.

Abstract
Well-ordered nanoparticle arrays are attractive platforms for a variety of analytical applications, but the fabrication of such arrays is generally challenging. Here, it is demonstrated that scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) can be used as a powerful, instantly reconfigurable tool for the fabrication of ordered nanoparticle arrays. Using SECCM, Ag nanoparticle arrays were straightforwardly fabricated via electrodeposition at the interface between a substrate electrode and an electrolyte-filled pipet. By dynamically monitoring the currents flowing in an SECCM cell, individual nucleation and growth events could be detected and controlled to yield individual nanoparticles of controlled size. Characterization of the resulting arrays demonstrate that this SECCM-based approach enables spatial control of nanoparticle location comparable with the terminal diameter of the pipet employed and straightforward control over the volume of material deposited at each site within an array. These results provide further evidence for the utility of probe-based electrochemical techniques such as SECCM as tools for surface modification in addition to analysis.

Abstract
Nanofabrication has been utilized to manufacture one-, two-, and three-dimensional functional nanostructures for applications such as electronics, sensors, and photonic devices. Although conventional silicon-based nanofabrication (top-down approach) has developed into a technique with extremely high precision and integration density, nanofabrication based on directed assembly (bottom-up approach) is attracting more interest recently owing to its low cost and the advantages of additive manufacturing. Directed assembly is a process that utilizes external fields to directly interact with nanoelements (nanoparticles, 2D nanomaterials, nanotubes, nanowires, etc.) and drive the nanoelements to site-selectively assemble in patterned areas on substrates to form functional structures. Directed assembly processes can be divided into four different categories depending on the external fields: electric field-directed assembly, fluidic flow-directed assembly, magnetic field-directed assembly, and optical field-directed assembly. In this review, we summarize recent progress utilizing these four processes and address how these directed assembly processes harness the external fields, the underlying mechanism of how the external fields interact with the nanoelements, and the advantages and drawbacks of utilizing each method. Finally, we discuss applications made using directed assembly and provide a perspective on the future developments and challenges.

Abstract
Optical tweezers can control the position and orientation of individual colloidal particles in solution. Such control is often desirable but challenging for single-particle spectroscopy and microscopy, especially at the nanoscale. Functional nanoparticles that are optically trapped and manipulated in a three-dimensional (3D) space can serve as freestanding nanoprobes, which provide unique prospects of sensing and mapping the surrounding environment of the nanoparticles and studying their interactions with biological systems. In this perspective, we will first describe the optical forces underlying the optical trapping and manipulation of microscopic particles, then review the combinations and applications of different spectroscopy and microscopy techniques with optical tweezers. Finally, we will discuss the challenges of performing spectroscopy and microscopy on single nanoparticles with optical tweezers, the possible routes to address these challenges, and the new opportunities that will arise.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) due to its large bandgap, has a very limited efficiency in utilizing sunlight for photocatalysis and photoanode applications. Sensitizing with metallic nanoparticles is one of the promising routes for resolving this issue but it requires thermal annealing and proper bandgap engineering to optimize the Schottky junctions. Here we use plasmonic nanoheating to locally anneal the TiO2 medium with a sub-nanometer (sub-nm) feature, which results in a nanophase transition from amorphous TiO2 to anatase and rutile with a gradient configuration. Such gradient nanocoatings of rutile/anatase establish a cascade hot electron transfer via a conduction band and defect states, which improves the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance and photocatalytic efficiency over an order of magnitude. Unlike conventional global annealing, this nanoannealing strategy with plasmonic heating enables sub-nm control at the interface between the metal and semiconductors, and this strategy not only provides new opportunities for single particle SERS, but also shows significant implications for photocatalysis and hot-electron chemistry.

Abstract
Several fields of applications require a reliable characterization of the photothermal response and heat dissipation of nanoscopic systems, which remains a challenging task for both modeling and experimental measurements. Here, we present an implementation of anti-Stokes thermometry that enables the in situ photothermal characterization of individual nanoparticles (NPs) from a single hyperspectral photoluminescence confocal image. The method is label-free, potentially applicable to any NP with detectable anti-Stokes emission, and does not require any prior information about the NP itself or the surrounding media. With it, we first studied the photothermal response of spherical gold NPs of different sizes on glass substrates, immersed in water, and found that heat dissipation is mainly dominated by the water for NPs larger than 50 nm. Then, the role of the substrate was studied by comparing the photothermal response of 80 nm gold NPs on glass with sapphire and graphene, two materials with high thermal conductivity. For a given irradiance level, the NPs reach temperatures 18% lower on sapphire and 24% higher on graphene than on bare glass. The fact that the presence of a highly conductive material such as graphene leads to a poorer thermal dissipation demonstrates that interfacial thermal resistances play a very significant role in nanoscopic systems and emphasize the need for in situ experimental thermometry techniques. The developed method will allow addressing several open questions about the role of temperature in plasmon-assisted applications, especially ones where NPs of arbitrary shapes are present in complex matrixes and environments.

Plasmon-driven synthesis of individual metal@semiconductor core@shell nanoparticles. Nat Commun 2020; 11:3957.

Abstract
Most syntheses of advanced materials require accurate control of the operating temperature. Plasmon resonances in metal nanoparticles generate nanoscale temperature gradients at their surface that can be exploited to control the growth of functional nanomaterials, including bimetallic and core@shell particles. However, in typical ensemble plasmonic experiments these local gradients vanish due to collective heating effects. Here, we demonstrate how localized plasmonic photothermal effects can generate spatially confined nanoreactors by activating, controlling, and spectroscopically following the growth of individual metal@semiconductor core@shell nanoparticles. By tailoring the illumination geometry and the surrounding chemical environment, we demonstrate the conformal growth of semiconducting shells of CeO2, ZnO, and ZnS, around plasmonic nanoparticles of different morphologies. The shell growth rate scales with the nanoparticle temperature and the process is followed in situ via the inelastic light scattering of the growing nanoparticle. Plasmonic control of chemical reactions can lead to the synthesis of functional nanomaterials otherwise inaccessible with classical colloidal methods, with potential applications in nanolithography, catalysis, energy conversion, and photonic devices.

Abstract
We demonstrate an opto-thermomechanical (OTM) nanoprinting method that allows us not only to additively print nanostructures with sub-100 nm accuracy but also to correct printing errors for nanorepairing under ambient conditions. Different from other existing nanoprinting methods, this method works when a nanoparticle on the surface of a soft substrate is illuminated by a continuous-wave (cw) laser beam in a gaseous environment. The laser heats the nanoparticle and induces a rapid thermal expansion of the soft substrate. This thermal expansion can either release a nanoparticle from the soft surface for nanorepairing or transfer it additively to another surface in the presence of optical forces for nanoprinting with sub-100 nm accuracy. Details of the printing mechanism and parameters that affect the printing accuracy are investigated. This additive OTM nanoprinting technique paves the way for rapid and affordable additive manufacturing or 3D printing at the nanoscale under ambient conditions.

Abstract
Optical traps based on strongly confined electromagnetic fields at metal-dielectric interfaces are far more efficient than conventional optical tweezers. Specifically, these near-field nanotweezers allow the trapping of smaller particles at lower optical intensities, which can impact diverse research fields ranging from soft condensed matter physics to materials science and biology. A major thrust in the past decade has been focused on extending the capabilities of plasmonically enhanced nanotweezers beyond diffusion-limited trapping on surfaces such as to achieve dynamic control in the bulk of fluidic environments. Here, we review the recent efforts in optical nanotweezers, especially those involving hybrid forcing schemes, covering both surface and bulk-based techniques. We summarize the important capabilities demonstrated with this promising approach, with niche applications in reconfigurable nanopatterning and on-chip assembly as well as in sorting and separating colloidal nanoparticles.

Abstract
To realize the full potential of nanocrystals in nanotechnology, it is necessary to integrate single nanocrystals into addressable structures; for example, arrays and periodic lattices. The current methods for achieving this are reviewed. It is shown that a combination of top-down lithography techniques with directed assembly offers a platform for attaining this goal. The most promising of these directed assembly methods are reviewed: capillary force assembly, electrostatic assembly, optical printing, DNA-based assembly, and electrophoretic deposition. The last of these appears to offer a generic approach to fabrication of single-nanocrystal arrays.

Abstract
The controlled positioning of spherical gold nanoparticles and gold nanorods upon self-assembly on a substrate is of great interest for the fabrication of tailored plasmonic devices. Here, an electrostatic approach with a sequential two-step assembly protocol is presented as a cost-effective and high-yield alternative to previously presented, more complex proof of concepts. Three different geometries can be separately produced in large quantities relying on electrostatic attraction and repulsion of the charge-carrying building blocks: a single gold nanoparticle at the tip, the side or on top of a gold nanorod. DLVO theory is used to explain the electrostatic assembly strategy. The process is highly efficient and assembly yields between 79% (at the tip) and 94% (for the nanoparticle at the long side of the nanorod) are achieved.

Abstract
As devices approach the single-nanoparticle scale, the rational assembly of nanomaterial heterojunctions remains a persistent challenge. While optical traps can manipulate objects in three dimensions, to date, nanoscale materials have been trapped primarily in aqueous solvents or vacuum. Here, we demonstrate the use of optical traps to manipulate, align, and assemble metal-seeded nanowire building blocks in a range of organic solvents. Anisotropic radiation pressure generates an optical torque that orients each nanowire, and subsequent trapping of aligned nanowires enables deterministic fabrication of arbitrarily long heterostructures of periodically repeating bismuth-nanocrystal/germanium-nanowire junctions. Heat transport calculations, back-focal-plane interferometry, and optical images reveal that the bismuth nanocrystal melts during trapping, facilitating tip-to-tail “nanosoldering” of the germanium nanowires. These bismuth-semiconductor interfaces may be useful for quantum computing or thermoelectric applications. In addition, the ability to trap nanostructures in oxygen- and water-free organic media broadly expands the library of materials available for optical manipulation and single-particle spectroscopy. The use of optical traps has been limited to materials dispersed in aqueous media, which restricts the materials and range of experiments. Here, the authors demonstrate the alignment and assembly of composite structures made of a bismuth nanocrystal and a germanium nanowire in organic solvents.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing at the macroscale has become a hot topic of research in recent years. It has been used by engineers for rapid prototyping and low-volume production. The development of such technologies at the nanoscale, or additive nanomanufacturing, will provide a future path for new nanotechnology applications. In this review article, we introduce several available toolboxes that can be potentially used for additive nanomanufacturing. We especially focus on laser-based additive nanomanufacturing under ambient conditions.

Abstract
From unravelling the most fundamental phenomena to enabling applications that impact our everyday lives, the nanoscale world holds great promise for science, technology and medicine. However, the extent of its practical realization would rely on manufacturing at the nanoscale. Among the various nanomanufacturing approaches being investigated, the bottom-up approach involving assembly of colloidal nanoparticles as building blocks is promising. Compared to a top-down lithographic approach, particle assembly exhibits advantages such as smaller feature size, finer control of chemical composition, less defects, lower material wastage, and higher scalability. The capability to assemble colloidal particles one by one or "digitally" has been heavily sought as it mimics the natural way of making matter and enables construction of nanomaterials with sophisticated architectures. This progress report provides an insight into the tools and techniques for digital assembly of particles, including their working mechanisms and demonstrated particle assemblies. Examples of nanomaterials and nanodevices are presented to demonstrate the strength of digital assembly in nanomanufacturing.

Abstract
Recent advances in chemical sciences have enabled the tailorable synthesis of colloidal particles with variable composition, size, shape, and properties. Building superstructures with colloidal particles as building blocks is appealing for the fabrication of functional metamaterials and nanodevices. Optical nanoprinting provides a versatile platform to print various particles into arbitrary configurations with nanometric precision. In this review, we summarize recent progress in optical nanoprinting of colloidal particles and its related applications. Diverse techniques based on different physical mechanisms, including optical forces, light-controlled electric fields, optothermal effects, laser-directed thermocapillary flows, and photochemical reactions, are discussed in detail. With its flexible and versatile capabilities, optical nanoprinting will find promising applications in numerous fields such as nanophotonics, energy, microelectronics, and nanomedicine.

Abstract
Controlled assembly of colloidal nanoparticles onto solid substrates generally needs to overcome their thermal diffusion in water. For this purpose, several techniques that are based on chemical bonding, capillary interactions with substrate patterning, optical force, and optofluidic heating of light-absorbing substrates are proposed. However, the direct assembly of colloidal nanoparticles on generic substrates without chemical linkers and substrate patterning still remains challenging. Here, photothermal convection lithography is proposed, which allows the rapid placement of colloidal nanoparticles onto the surface of diverse solid substrates. It is based on local photothermal heating of colloidal nanoparticles by resonant light focusing without substrate heating, which induces convective flow. The convective flow, then, forces the colloidal nanoparticles to assemble at the illumination point of light. The size of the assembly is increased by either increasing the light intensity or illumination time. It is shown that three types of colloidal gold nanoparticles with different shapes (rod, star, and sphere) can be uniformly assembled by the proposed method. Each assembly with a diameter of tens of micrometers can be completed within a minute and its patterned arrays can also be achieved rapidly.

Abstract
Light-based manipulation of colloidal particles holds great promise in fabrication of functional devices. Construction of complex colloidal superstructures using traditional optical tweezers is limited by high operation power and strong heating effect. Herein, we demonstrate low-power opto-thermophoretic manipulation and construction of colloidal superstructures in photocurable hydrogels. By introducing cationic surfactants into a hydrogel solution under a light-directed temperature field, we create both thermoelectric fields and depletion attraction forces to control the suspended colloidal particles. The particles of various sizes and compositions are thus trapped and organized into various superstructures. Furthermore, the colloidal superstructures are immobilized and patterned onto solid-state substrates through UV-induced photopolymerization of the hydrogel. Our opto-thermophoretic technique will open up avenues for bottom-up assembly of colloidal materials and devices.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanostructures, which allow light focusing at the deep subwavelength scale, and colloidal nanoparticles with unique optoelectronic properties are nowadays fabricated with nanometer precision. However, to fully control and exploit nanoscale light-matter interactions in hybrid plasmonic-nanophotonic devices, both materials must be assembled in heterostructures with similar precision. Near-field optical forces have recently attracted much attention, as they can precisely trap and position nanoparticles at plasmonic hotspots. However, long-range attraction and the surface bonding of nanoparticles usually require other specific techniques, such as electrothermal heating and surface chemical treatments. This Letter reports on the optical trapping and deposition of dye-molecule nanoparticles in the nanogap of a gold antenna. The nanoparticles are captured by focusing a near-infrared laser beam on a targeted plasmonic antenna. This single-step deposition process requires only a few seconds under 1.4-1.8 MW·cm-2 continuous-wave illumination and shows a polarization dependence smaller than expected. Fluorescence and electronic microscopy observations suggest that nanoparticle deposition arises from a trade-off between optical and thermal effects.

Abstract
The specificity and simplicity of the Watson-Crick base pair interactions make DNA one of the most versatile construction materials for creating nanoscale structures and devices. Among several DNA-based approaches, the DNA origami technique excels in programmable self-assembly of complex, arbitrary shaped structures with dimensions of hundreds of nanometers. Importantly, DNA origami can be used as templates for assembly of functional nanoscale components into three-dimensional structures with high precision and controlled stoichiometry. This is often beyond the reach of other nanofabrication techniques. In this Perspective, we highlight the capability of the DNA origami technique for realization of novel nanophotonic systems. First, we introduce the basic principles of designing and fabrication of DNA origami structures. Subsequently, we review recent advances of the DNA origami applications in nanoplasmonics, single-molecule and super-resolution fluorescent imaging, as well as hybrid photonic systems. We conclude by outlining the future prospects of the DNA origami technique for advanced nanophotonic systems with tailored functionalities.

Abstract
Long-range interactions often proceed as a sequence of hopping through intermediate, statistically favored events. Here, we demonstrate predictable mechanical dynamics of particles that arise from the Lorentz force between plasmons. Even if the radiation is weak, the nonconservative Lorentz force produces stable locations perpendicular to the plasmon oscillation; over time, distinct patterns emerge. Experimentally, linearly polarized light illumination leads to the formation of 80 nm diameter Au nanoparticle chains, perpendicularly aligned, with lengths that are orders of magnitude greater than their plasmon near-field interaction. There is a critical intensity threshold and optimal concentration for observing self-assembly.

Abstract
In this article, a mechanism for quick release and transfer of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) from a soft substrate to another substrate under laser illumination is investigated. The heating of GNPs on a soft substrate with a continuous-wave laser causes a rapid thermal expansion of the substrate, which can be used to selectively release and place GNPs onto another surface. In-plane and out-of-plane nanostructures are successfully fabricated using this method. This rapid release-and-place process can be used for additive nonmanufacturing of metallic nanostructures under ambient conditions, which paves a way for affordable nanomanufacturing and enables a wide variety of applications in nanophotonics, ultrasensitive sensing, and nonlinear plasmonics.

Abstract
Optical printing is a powerful all-optical method that allows the incorporation of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) onto substrates with nanometric precision. Here, we present a systematic study of the accuracy of optical printing of Au and Ag NPs, using different laser powers and wavelengths. When using light of wavelength tuned to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the NPs, the accuracy improves as the laser power is reduced, whereas for wavelengths off the LSPR, the accuracy is independent of the laser power. Complementary studies of the printing times of the NPs reveal the roles of Brownian and deterministic motion. Calculated trajectories of the NPs, taking into account the interplay between optical forces, electrostatic forces, and Brownian motion, allowed us to rationalize the experimental results and gain a detailed insight into the mechanism of the printing process. A clear framework is laid out for future optimizations of optical printing and optical manipulation of NPs near substrates.

Abstract
Optical printing holds great potential to enable the use of the vast variety of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) in nano- and microdevices and circuits. By means of optical forces, it enables the direct assembly of NPs, one by one, onto specific positions of solid surfaces with great flexibility of pattern design and no need of previous surface patterning. However, for unclear causes it was not possible to print identical NPs closer to each other than 300 nm. Here, we show that the repulsion restricting the optical printing of close by NPs arises from light absorption by the printed NPs and subsequent local heating. By optimizing heat dissipation, it is possible to reduce the minimum separation between NPs. Using a reduced graphene oxide layer on a sapphire substrate, we demonstrate for the first time the optical printing of Au-Au NP dimers. Modeling the experiments considering optical, thermophoretic, and thermo-osmotic forces we obtain a detailed understanding and a clear pathway for the optical printing fabrication of complex nano structures and circuits based on connected colloidal NPs.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles are able to control light at nanometre-scale by coupling electromagnetic fields to the oscillations of free electrons in metals. Deposition of such nanoparticles onto substrates with tailored patterns is essential, for example, in fabricating plasmonic structures for enhanced sensing. This work presents an innovative micro-patterning technique, based on optoelectic printing, for fast and straightforward fabrication of curve-shaped circuits of plasmonic nanoparticles deposited onto a transparent electrode often used in optoelectronics, liquid crystal displays, touch screens, etc. We experimentally demonstrate that this kind of plasmonic structure, printed by using silver nanoparticles of 40 nm, works as a plasmonic enhanced optical device allowing for polarized-color-tunable light scattering in the visible. These findings have potential applications in biosensing and fabrication of future optoelectronic devices combining the benefits of plasmonic sensing and the functionality of transparent electrodes.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) efficiently convert incident light into heat under the resonant conditions of localized surface plasmon. Controlling mass transfer through plasmonic heating of Au NPs has potential applications such as manipulation and fabrication within a small space. Here, we describe the formation of stationary microbubbles and subsequent fluid convection induced by CW laser heating of Au NPs in water. Stationary bubbles of about 1-20 μm in diameter were produced by irradiating individual Au NPs with a CW laser. Spatial profiles and velocity distribution of fluid convection around the microbubbles were visualized by the wide-field fluorescence imaging of tracer nanospheres. To evaluate the bubble-induced convection, numerical simulations were performed on the basis of general heat diffusion and Navier-Stokes equations. A comparison between the experimental and computational results revealed that a temperature derivative of surface tension at the bubble surface is a key factor to control the fluid convection. Temperature differences of a few Kelvin at the bubble surface resulted in convective velocities ranging from 102 to 103 μm s-1. The convective velocity gradually increased with increasing bubble diameter. This article covers both natural and Marangoni convection induced by plasmonic heating of Au NPs.

Abstract
Reversible assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles can be used to modulate their structural, electrical, and optical properties. Common and versatile tools in nanoparticle manipulation and assembly are optical tweezers, but these require tightly focused and high-power (10-100 mW/μm2) laser beams with precise optical alignment, which significantly hinders their applications. Here we present light-directed reversible assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles with a power intensity below 0.1 mW/μm2. Our experiments and simulations reveal that such a low-power assembly is enabled by thermophoretic migration of nanoparticles due to the plasmon-enhanced photothermal effect and the associated enhanced local electric field over a plasmonic substrate. With software-controlled laser beams, we demonstrate parallel and dynamic manipulation of multiple nanoparticle assemblies. Interestingly, the assemblies formed over plasmonic substrates can be subsequently transported to nonplasmonic substrates. As an example application, we selected surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy, with tunable sensitivity. The advantages provided by plasmonic assembly of nanoparticles are the following: (1) low-power, reversible nanoparticle assembly, (2) applicability to nanoparticles with arbitrary morphology, and (3) use of simple optics. Our plasmon-enhanced thermophoretic technique will facilitate further development and application of dynamic nanoparticle assemblies, including biomolecular analyses in their native environment and smart drug delivery.

Abstract
V-shaped gold nanoantennas are the functional components of plasmonic metasurfaces, which are capable of manipulating light in unprecedented ways. Designing a metasurface requires the custom arrangement of individual antennas with controlled shape and orientation. Here, we show how highly crystalline gold nanorods in solution can be bent, one-by-one, into a V-shaped geometry and printed to the surface of a solid support through a combination of plasmonic heating and optical force. Significantly, we demonstrate that both the bending angle and the orientation of each rod-antenna can be adjusted independent from each other by tuning the laser intensity and polarization. This approach is applicable for the patterning of V-shaped plasmonic antennas on almost any substrate, which holds great potential for the fabrication of ultrathin optical components and devices.

Abstract
Optical printing has been proved a versatile and simple method to fabricate arbitrary arrays of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) on substrates. Here, we show that is also a powerful tool for studying chemical reactions at the single NP level. We demonstrate that 60 nm gold NPs immobilized by optical printing can be used as seeds to obtain larger NPs by plasmon-assisted reduction of aqueous HAuCl4. The final size of each NP is simply controlled by the irradiation time. Moreover, we show conditions for which the growth occurs preferentially in the direction of light polarization, enabling the in situ anisotropic reshaping of the NPs in predetermined orientations.

Abstract
We investigate the optical and morphological properties of gold nanoparticles grown by reducing a gold salt with Na2S. Lasers are tuned to the observed plasmon resonances, and the optical forces exerted on the nanoparticles are used to selectively print individual nanoparticles onto a substrate. This enables us to combine dark-field spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy to compare the optical properties of single nanoparticles with their morphology. By arresting the synthesis at different times, we are able to investigate which type of nanoparticle is responsible for the respective resonances. We find that thin Au nanotriangles are the source of the observed near infrared (NIR) resonance. The initial lateral growth of these triangles causes the plasmon resonance to redshift into the NIR, whereas a subsequent thickening of the triangles and a concomitant truncation lead to a blueshift of the resonance. Furthermore, we find that the nanotriangles produced have extremely narrow line widths (187 ± 23 meV), show nearly isotropic scattering, and are stable for long periods of time. This shows their vast potential for applications such as in vivo imaging and bio(chemical) sensing. The method used here is generally applicable to other syntheses, and shows how complex nanostructures can be built up on substrates by selectively printing NPs of varying plasmonic resonances.
