We investigated the influence of the reduction state of gold ions on the growth of gold nanocrystals in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF). While freshly prepared solutions of AuCl3 produce spherical nanocrystals, aged precursor solutions containing mainly Au+ ions and Au(0) atoms lead to various branched nanoparticles. Fur…

The authors investigated shot noise properties in the graphene-based double barriers. The shot noise with the Fano factor equal to 1∕3 is found to occur at all conductance minimums including the Dirac point, which is a combined result of Klein tunneling, resonant tunneling, and quasiparticle chirality. The similarity…

In this paper, we report on the use of two PTCDI-melamine supramolecular networks on Au(111) to trap C70 molecules. The different supramolecular networks were formed by changing the postannealing temperature after molecular deposition. We observed, using scanning tunneling microscopy, that the deposition of C70 onto a…
