The work function is an important material property with several applications in photonics and optoelectronics. We aimed to characterize the work function of Clusters resulting from gold nanocrystals capped with oleylamine surfactant and drop-casted onto gold substrate. We used scanning Kelvin probe microscopy to investigate the work function,...

Self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can be used for several applications including sensors, lab on chips, and surface enhanced Raman scattering sensitive substrates. The architecture of the AuNPs aggregates is driven by the nanoparticle size, surface charge, and dielectric constant, and by the surface functionality of the substrate,...
