Upon growth of a thin metal (Pd, Pt, or Au) layer, the NW winds around itself to give a metallic double helix. We propose that the winding originates from the chirality within the as-synthesized Au-Ag NWs, which were induced to untwist upon metal deposition. © 2011 American Chemical Society. | Source Title: | Journal of the American Chemical Society | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/63592 | ISSN: | 00027863 | DOI: | 10.1021/ja208121c |
