L. Motte et Mp. Pileni, Self-assemblies of silver sulfide nanocrystals: influence of length of thio-alkyl chains used as coating agent, APPL SURF S, 164, 2000, pp. 60-67
We report on the influence of the length of thiol alkyl chains used to coat
silver sulfide particles on the self-organization of nanoparticles in mono
layers. The variation of the average distance between particles with the le
ngth of the thio derivatives alkyl chain is derived from direct measurement
s of TEM patterns. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
