of Research of the National Bureau of Standards Room Temperature Gold - Vacuum - Gold Tunneling Experiments
An experiment has been completed which demonstrated quantum mechanical tunneling of electrons between two gold electrodes separated in vacuum. The tunneling current between the gold electrodes has been measured, for fixed voltages of 0.1 and 0.01 volts, as the electrode spacing was varied from a distance of approximately 2.0 nm down to a point where the electrodes touched. Current changes of ov...
متن کاملTemperature-modulated scanning tunneling spectroscopy of gold nanoparticle dropcast films
The electronic conductivity of a gold nanoparticle dropcast film was examined by temperature-modulated scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). The low-conductance Coulomb blockade was found to shrink with increasing temperature, which at ambient temperature (ca. 290 K) diminished completely. Concomitantly, the potential spacing between adjacent peaks observed in the Coulomb staircase features ex...
متن کاملAqueous room-temperature gold-catalyzed chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of aldehydes.
Reduction of aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols is one of the most fundamental and useful reactions that are important in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Among the various available reduction protocols for the synthesis of valuable hydroxy compounds, catalytic transfer hydrogenation (TH) has emerged as the most viable, mainly due to the non-involvement of highly flammable and exp...
متن کاملRoom-temperature Coulomb-blockade-dominated transport in gold nanocluster structures
In this paper we discuss the near-room-temperature electrical transport characteristics of structures made from ligand-stabilized metal clusters. The structures show threshold behaviour, nonlinear current–voltage characteristics and radio-frequency-induced plateaux consistent with Coulomb-blockade-dominated transport in disordered arrays of metal dots. Samples having triphenylphosphine and octa...
متن کاملGold catalysed synthesis of 3-alkoxyfurans at room temperature.
Synthetically important 3-alkoxyfurans can be prepared efficiently via treatment of acetal-containing propargylic alcohols (obtained from the addition of 3,3-diethoxypropyne to aldehydes) with 2 mol% gold catalyst in an alcohol solvent at room temperature. The resulting furans show useful reactivity in a variety of subsequent transformations.
