Photo-induced transformation process at gold clusters-semiconductor interface: Implications for the complexity of gold clusters-based photocatalysis.
The recent thrust in utilizing atomically precise organic ligands protected gold clusters (Au clusters) as photosensitizer coupled with semiconductors for nano-catalysts has led to the claims of improved efficiency in photocatalysis. Nonetheless, the influence of photo-stability of organic ligands protected-Au clusters at the Au/semiconductor interface on the photocatalytic properties remains r...
متن کاملMelting of gold clusters
Investigations of the thermal evolution of structural and dynamic properties of gold nanocrystalline clusters of variable size ~Au75, Au146, and Au459! were performed using extensive molecular-dynamics simulations employing embedded-atom interactions. These studies reveal that the thermal evolution of these clusters is punctuated by diffusionless solid-to-solid structural transformations from t...
متن کاملTrianionic gold clusters
Using Penning-trap experiments and a shell-correction method incorporating ellipsoidal shape deformations, we investigate the formation and stability patterns of trianionic gold clusters. Theory and experiment are in remarkable agreement concerning appearance sizes and electronic shell effects. In contrast to multiply cationic clusters, decay of the trianionic gold clusters occurs primarily via...
متن کاملArenethiolate Monolayer-Protected Gold Clusters
Nanometer-sized gold clusters stabilized by monolayers of arenethiolates prepared using the Brust reaction are somewhat larger (by TEM) and less thermally stable (by TGA) than those prepared under similar conditions and stabilized by alkanethiolates. Like the latter, the mean core size decreases for synthetic conditions based on larger thiol/Au ratios. The differential pulse voltammetry of the ...
متن کاملMelting of Gold Clusters: Icosahedral Precursors
Investigations of the melting of gold nanocrystalline clusters, using molecular dynamics simulations, reveal that at elevated temperatures the melting process is punctuated by solid-to-solid structural transformations from the low-temperature optimal structures (a truncated octahedron for Au459, and a truncated decahedron for Au146) to icosahedral structures, occurring as precursors to the melt...
