M. Nagtegaal et al., COLLOID-ROUGHENED SURFACES AS TEMPLATES FOR THE HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEATION OF LEPIDOCROCITE GAMMA-FEO(OH) NANOPARTICLES, Chemical communications, (19), 1998, pp. 2139-2140
Lepidocrocite gamma-FeO(OH) crystals can be specifically nucleated by
sulfonate-terminated SAM/gold surfaces from solutions at room temperat
ure; previously 'roughening' the gold surface through the tethering of
gold colloids increases yields.
