    "abstract": "We report experimental observations on the effect of disorder on the phase\nbehavior of DNA-linked nanoparticle assemblies. Variation in DNA linker lengths\nresults in different melting temperatures of the DNA-linked nanoparticle\nassemblies. We observed an unusual trend of a non-monotonic ``zigzag\u0027\u0027 pattern\nin the melting temperature as a function of DNAlinker length. Linker DNA\nresulting in unequal DNA duplex lengths introduces disorder and lowers the\nmelting temperature of the nanoparticle system. Comparison with free DNA\nthermodynamics shows that such an anomalous zigzag pattern does not exist for\nfree DNA duplex melting, which suggests that the disorder introduced by unequal\nDNA duplex lengths results in this unusual collective behavior of DNA-linked\nnanoparticle assemblies.",
