Two-dimensional arrays of high refractive index structures can be fabricated using a combination of e- beam lithography for pattern definition and electrochemical deposition for structure formation. The potential of this method is demonstrated for CdSe, where (a)
mushrooms, (b) nanopillars, (c) walls, and (d) crosses are prepared. Such arrays have potential in optical device applications such as photonic crystals and waveguides. [Advanced Materials, 15, 49
(2003)]
An SEM image of a single electron transistor. The source and drain electrodes are bridged by C60-Au- C60 nano-
particles. The gate electrode is not shown. The inset shows the suspended Au leads before attachment of Au particles. The width of the electrodes is about 160 nm, and the gap between the two tips is about 15 nm. The scale bar is 100
nm. [Applied Physics Letters, 81, 4595 (2002)]

Fast reduction of AgNO3 enlarges a Ag nanocube along the [100] directions by preferentially depositing Ag atoms onto the {100} side faces. Consequently, concave structures are produced on the newly formed {111} facets.
When Cu2+ ions are introduced, growth is dominated by the [111] directions, forcing the cubic seed to sequentially evolve into a concave cube, an octapod, and finally a concave trisoctahedron, with all of them being enclosed by high-index facets.

From 1D-structures to 2D structures
What is the Stöber reaction? Minimum/Maximum k-vector in a lattice? Wulff-construction? Why do we need seeds for nucleation? What is the electro-chemical double layer? Rule of thumb: Critical size for nano-effects? Nano-second lasers are much cheaper than
pico/femto second lasers, but not suitable for drilling, generation of nano-particles, why?
What are magic numbers?
You are the better teachers (I hope)…

Self-assembly can be defined as the spontaneous and reversible organization of molecular units into ordered structures by non-covalent interactions. The first property of a self-assembled system that this definition suggests is the spontaneity of the self-assembly process: the interactions responsible for the formation of the self-assembled system act on a strictly local level—in other words, the (nano)structure builds itself. (wikipedia)
Self-organization is a process where some form of global order or coordination arises out of the local interactions between the components of an initially disordered system. This process is spontaneous: it is not directed or controlled by any agent or subsystem inside or outside of the system; however, the laws followed by the process and its initial conditions may have been chosen or caused by an agent. It is often triggered by random fluctuations that are amplified by positive feedback. (wikipedia)

"Sierpinski triangle evolution" by Wereon, Wikipedia
The Sierpinski triangle may be constructed from an equilateral triangle by repeated removal of triangular subsets:
Start with an equilateral triangle.Subdivide it into four smaller congruent equilateral triangles and remove the
central one.Repeat step 2 with each of the remaining smaller triangles
Fractals
A fractal is a natural phenomenon or a mathematical setthat exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at everyscale. If the replication is exactly the same at every scale,it is called a self-similar pattern.
a) Gas discharge caused by ac. b) Electroluminescence pattern in an ac-driven ZnS: Mg semiconductor layer system. c) Chemical (Belousov-Zhabotinsky) reaction. d) Optical system with Na-vapor as nonlinear medium. e) c-ADP density waves of an amoeba population. f) Ca-waves on frog eggs.

Die farbigen Kurven geben die optische Transmission in den drei Tropfen wieder, die als Indikator für die chemische Reaktion dient. Die schwarze Kurve zeigt den Abstand der Mittelpunkte des zur blauen und zur roten Kurve gehörenden Tropfens. Bei etwa 120 Sekunden bildet sich spontan die Lipiddoppelschicht. Obwohl die Tropfen bereits vorher in Kontakt stehen, sind die chemischen Oszillationen außer Phase. Erst nach Bildung der Membran wird eine starre Phasenkopplung beobachtet.© Max-Planck-Institut für Dynamik und Selbstorganisation
