Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) has been used to image latent fingermarks enhanced by adsorption of gold nanoparticles onto which silver is chemically deposited, a process known as ‘‘multi-metal-deposition’’ (MMD). ...
This thesis deals with the supramolecular organization of chiral aminoacids and dipeptides on metal surfaces. The emergence of homochirality in biomolecular systems is one of the most intriguing open questions of Nature. The self-assembly and amplification ...
Infrared scanning near-field optical microscopy (IR-SNOM) is an extremely powerful analytical instrument since it combines IR spectroscopy's high chemical specificity with SNOM's high spatial resolution. In order to do this in the infrared, specialty chalc ...
Highly water-soluble mixed monolayer protected "rippled'' gold nanoparticles were synthesized through a one step reaction with sodium 11-mercaptoundecanesulfonate and octanethiol ligands at various ratios. ...
The adsorption of trimesic acid (TMA) on Cu(110) has been studied in the temperature range between 130 and 550 K and for coverages up to one monolayer. We combine scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), reflection absor ...
Self-assembled monolayer-protected nanoparticles are promising candidates for applications, such as sensing and drug delivery, in which the molecular ligands' interactions with the surrounding environment play a crucial role. We recently showed that, when ...
We have fabricated gold nanospheres composite multilayer films using the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technique, and have investigated the aggregate states of the gold nanosphere. The gold nanospheres composite multilayer films were fabricated by con ...
This thesis looks at surface-bound nanowires and nanoparticles, the mechanical and the metrological properties of which are of practical importance in the realization of nanometer-scale electronics. Atomic force microscope (AFM) was the main instrument of ...
Here we present a comparative analysis of two types of equally monodisperse gold nanoparticles (similar to 8 nm in diameter), one coated only with dodecanethiol ligands and the other coated with a mixture of dodecanethiol and 4-methylbenzenethiol ligands. ...
Capacitance measurements of a polarised liquid|liquid interface show that the capacitance of the interface increases in the presence of an adsorbed monolayer of citrate-coated gold nanoparticles. This unusual observation can be explained by an increase of ...
