      abstract     = {Hybrid (organic shell–inorganic core) nanoparticles have
                      important applications in nanomedicine. Although the
                      inorganic components of hybrid nanoparticles can be
                      characterized readily using conventional transmission
                      electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, the structural and
                      chemical arrangement of the organic molecular components
                      remains largely unknown. Here, we apply TEM to the
                      physico-chemical characterization of Au nanoparticles that
                      are coated with plasma-polymerized-allylamine, an organic
                      compound with the formula C3H5NH2. We discuss the use of
                      energy-filtered TEM in the low-energy-loss range as a
                      contrast enhancement mechanism for imaging the organic
                      shells of such particles. We also study
                      electron-beam-induced crystallization and amorphization of
                      the shells and the formation of graphitic-like layers that
                      contain both C and N. The resistance of the samples to
                      irradiation by high-energy electrons, which is relevant for
                      optical tuning and for understanding the degree to which
                      such hybrid nanostructures are stable in the presence of
                      biomedical radiation, is also discussed.},
