Abstract

Correction for ‘Compositional effect on the fabrication of AgxPd1−x alloy nanoparticles on c-plane sapphire at distinctive stages of the solid-state-dewetting of bimetallic thin films’ by Puran Pandey et al., RSC Adv., 2017, 7, 55471–55481.


Errors were present in the published article and ESI. The errors in the article are in the plots of SAR and coverage in Fig. 6(m) and (n) and the corrected figure is shown below. At the same time, Fig. 6(l) has been edited in order be consistent with Fig. 6(m) and (n). Specifically, the blue lines denote “Pd0.25Ag0.75” and the black lines “Pd0.75Ag0.25”. In the ESI summarized values of Rq in Table S7 were incorrect and the ESI document is now replaced.
