The application of nanoplasmonic materials relies on the fabrication of metallic nanostructures with well defined sizes and geometries. By mixing different ratios of DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), various kinds of DNA-AuNP networks can be tailored. The size and internal structure of these networks determines their optical properties, due to interparticle coupling. The networks are thermally and photothermally addressable and therefore interesting for possible applications in the fields of drug release or gene regulation. In this work, we analyze the size and internal structure of DNA-AuNP networks by combining optical extinction spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, small angle X-ray scattering, in situ-TEM measurements and generalized Mie calculations. Using these techniques, we determine the different interparticle distances in the networks. For small networks, they are consistent with a center-shell geometry.
