Abstract

Abstract The modification of flat semiconductor surfaces with nanoscale materials has been the subject of considerable interest. This paper provides detailed structural examinations of gold nanoparticles covalently immobilized onto hydrogen-terminated silicon surfaces by a convenient thermal hydrosilylation to form Si [BOND] C bonds. Gold nanoparticles stabilized by ω-alkene-1-thiols with different alkyl chain lengths (C 3, C 6, and C 11), with average ...
