The aim of this work is to fabricate ordered arrays of thiolated gold nanoparticles grafted through electrically conductive molecular tethers onto gold electrodes. Dodecanethiol-capped gold nanoparticles were synthesized in a two-phase liquid–liquid system. Cluster size selection by the vapor transfer technique was repeatedly performed in order...

An ink made from ex-situ synthesized nickel nanoparticles suspended in hexane is proposed as catalyst for the growth of carbon nanotubes onto high aspect ratio surfaces. The functionality of the ink as precursor has been at first checked onto standard flat surfaces such as silicon oxide onto a silicon wafer, were thick mats of multi-walled...

We present results from a study of the deposition of synthesized dodecanethiol capped gold clusters onto solid substrates investigated using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM). TEM imaging of films prepared onto carbon coated grids using the drop cast method from cluster solutions that have undergone an...
