Abstract
Stable cluster monolayers are produced on the surface of a Langmuir mo nolayer of stearic acid, and their surface topography is imaged by sca nning tunneling microscopy. The clusters are shown to form an ordered two-dimensional lattice in the monolayer. Electron transport through a two-barrier tunnel nanostructure is studied. The Coulomb blockage pot ential of the tunnel nanostructure decreases with increasing cluster n uclearity.
