Abstract Sintering is one of the major routes for the deactivation of surface‐supported catalytic particles in heterogeneous catalysis. The two mechanisms that are responsible for such coarsening phenomena are Ostwald ripening, in which larger clusters tend to grow at the expense of smaller ones, and Smoluchowski ripe…

We theoretically investigate electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) of metallic nanoparticles in the optical frequency domain. Using a quasistatic approximation scheme together with a plasmon eigenmode expansion, we show that EELS can be rephrased in terms of a tomography problem. For selected single and coupled nan…

Gold nanoisland arrays with well controlled growth were achieved by repeated sputtering deposition and post-deposition annealing processes. When each deposition was set at 5 nm (nominal thickness based on gold mass), the single deposition and annealing process (single process) yielded gold nanoisland arrays with an av…
