Abstract
Approach, contact, and bonding processes between different kinds of ma terials, gold (Au) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocrystallites were observed at atomic scale and at time resolution of 1/60 s. The nanocrystallite s contact spontaneously when they approach at a few atomic distances u nder an intense electron irradiation. It was found that a Au/ZnO inter face forms at ambient temperature without any sintering aid after the contact. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
