Dynamics of alkyl chains in monolayer protected metal clusters and their superlattices
Alkyl chains dynamics in monolayer protected metal cluster (MPC) systems of gold and silver have been studied by the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) technique. Isolated MPCs investigated are 6, 12 and 18 carbon n-alkyl chain thiolate protected 4 nm diameter gold clusters while the superlattices are their silver analogues. Evolution of dynamics with temperature is found to be very differe...
متن کاملRadical-induced Core Destruction of Monolayer-protected Metal Clusters
Chlorine radicals formed by the UV irradiation of solvents such as CCl 4 react with alkanethiolate-protected gold and silver clusters forming the corresponding metal salts and variously halogenated disul®des. Reaction rates depend on the chain length of the monolayer; whereas the reaction is over within tens of seconds for clusters protected with shorter chain monolayers, those with longer chai...
متن کاملMelting of monolayer protected cluster superlattices
Melting of crystalline solids ~superlattices! of octadecanethiol and octanethiol protected silver clusters has been studied with x-ray powder diffraction ~XRD!, differential scanning calorimetry ~DSC!, and infrared ~IR! spectroscopy. These solids have been compared with the silver thiolate layered compounds in view of their similarity in alkyl chain packing and x-ray diffraction patterns. Super...
متن کاملStructural and electronic properties of germanene/MoS2 monolayer and silicene/MoS2 monolayer superlattices
Superlattice provides a new approach to enrich the class of materials with novel properties. Here, we report the structural and electronic properties of superlattices made with alternate stacking of two-dimensional hexagonal germanene (or silicene) and a MoS2 monolayer using the first principles approach. The results are compared with those of graphene/MoS2 superlattice. The distortions of the ...
متن کاملSingle-Electron Transfer in Nanoparticle Solids
Monolayer-protected nanoparticles exhibit unique electronic conductivity properties, which can be tailored by the combined effects of the conductive inorganic cores and the insulating organic shells. In scanning tunneling spectroscopic (STS) studies of isolated particles, the resulting current– potential (I–V) profile generally exhibits a Coulomb blockade in the central region, beyond which a C...
