Abstract

A two-dimensional array of 10 nm gold colloidal particles is formed by a submonolayer deposition technique using a bifunctional aminosilane followed by a mobility-restoration treatment with alkanethiol, converting the disordered submonolayer deposition to a highly-ordered two-dimensional array.
