CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishThis work compares the morphology of gold nanoparticles NPs produced at room temperature on singlecrystalline MgO nanocubes and plates and amorphous carbon/glass plates substrates by pulsed laser deposition PLD. The results show that similar deposition and nucleation rates 51013 cm−2 s−1 are achieved irrespective of the nature of the substrate. Instead, the shape of NPs is substrate dependent, i.e., quasispheres and faceted NPs in amorphous and single-crystalline substrates, respectively. The shape of the latter is octahedral for small NPs and truncated octahedral for large ones, with the degree of truncation being well explained using the Wulff-Kaichew theorem. Furthermore, epitaxial growth at room temperature is demonstrated for single-crystalline substrate. The large fraction of ions having energies higher than 200 eV and the large flux of species arriving to the substrate 1016 at. cm−2 s−1 involved in the PLD process are, respectively, found to be responsible for the high nucleation rates and epitaxial growth at room temperature.

| Abstract: | This work compares the morphology of gold nanoparticles NPs produced at room temperature on singlecrystalline MgO nanocubes and plates and amorphous carbon/glass plates substrates by pulsed laser deposition PLD. The results show that similar deposition and nucleation rates 51013 cm−2 s−1 are achieved irrespective of the nature of the substrate. Instead, the shape of NPs is substrate dependent, i.e., quasispheres and faceted NPs in amorphous and single-crystalline substrates, respectively. The shape of the latter is octahedral for small NPs and truncated octahedral for large ones, with the degree of truncation being well explained using the Wulff-Kaichew theorem. Furthermore, epitaxial growth at room temperature is demonstrated for single-crystalline substrate. The large fraction of ions having energies higher than 200 eV and the large flux of species arriving to the substrate 1016 at. cm−2 s−1 involved in the PLD process are, respectively, found to be responsible for the high nucleation rates and epitaxial growth at room temperature. |
