The controlled clustering of nanoparticles into defined geometric arrangements has opened a new research area for the design of novel materials with advanced functionalities. This thesis describes a route that exploits liquid droplets as confined templates within which nanoparticles are assembled. Upon removal of the dispersed solvent from the emulsion droplets, the particles formed cluster-like structures. The particles did not arrange into small pieces of dense packings, but resembled clusters predicted for Lennard-Jones interaction potentials. In-situ observation of the assembly process via surface plasmon spectroscopy and small-angle x-ray scattering suggested that assembly occured rapidly, shortly before complete evaporation. The resul...
