Abstract
Very highly conductive Au films on glass substrates have been prepared by stepwise, layer-by-layer immobilization of Il-nm diameter colloida l Au particles and a short organic crosslinker. Particle coverage, opt ical spectra, nanometer-scale topography, and electrical resistance ha ve been measured as a function of the number of colloidal Au layers an d reveal a rapid transition from insulating to metallic behavior.
