Nanoscale electrocrystallisation of Sb and the compound semiconductor AlSb from an ionic liquid

Abstract

Aluminium antimonide nanoclusters with an apparent band gap energy of 0.92 ± 0.2 eV have been electrodeposited from the neutral ionic melt AlCl31-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride {AlCl3–[C4mim]+Cl} at room temperature and have been characterized in-situ by electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS).
