A. Chemseddine et al., INVESTIGATION OF THE NANOCLUSTER SELF-ASSEMBLY PROCESS BY SCANNING-TUNNELING-MICROSCOPY AND OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY, Journal of physical chemistry, 100(30), 1996, pp. 12546-12551
Scanning tunneling microscopy and optical spectroscopy of CdS nanoclus
ters and nanocluster self-assemblies were used to study the influence
of capping ligands and cluster concentration on the aggregation proces
s. Results are compared with TEM and X-ray diffraction data. Interacti
on and bonding between these self-connected nanoclusters are discussed
.
