Characterization and Surface Charge Measurement of Self-Assembled CdS Nanoparticle Films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The self-assembly of CdS semiconductor nanocrystals (Q-CdS) as well-defined monolayer and multilayer films on glass, indium tin oxide, and gold surfaces was carried out. These were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, ellipsometry, and scanning tunneling microscopy. The adsorption of the polymeric anion hexametaphosphate (HMP) on the Q-CdS particle surface produced a negative surface charge. The diffuse double-layer interaction forces between a silica probe and the Q-CdS/HMP particle film-covered gold substrate immersed in aqueous solutions were measured using an atomic force microscope. The surface charge and electrostatic potential of Q-CdS particles were obtained by theoretical fits of the force data to solutions of the complete nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation with a knowledge of the silica probe surface potential.

Films of AOT-capped (AOT = dioctyl sulfosuccinate) cadmium sulfide nanoparticles (Q-CdS) prepared by incorporation into a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of hexanethiol on Au were prepared. These were imaged at negative substrate bias in air by scanning tunneling microscopy, and Q-CdS particles were shown to cover most of the area on the S A M . Continuous scanning of the tip over the substrate ...
متن کاملPreparation of Gold Nanoisland Arrays from Layer-by-Layer Assembled Nanoparticle Multilayer Films
This article introduces a facile nanoparticle self-assembly/annealing method for the preparation of nanoisland films. First, nanoparticle-polymer multilayer films are prepared with layer-by-layer assembly. Nanoparticle multilayer films are then annealed at ~ 500 C in air to evaporate organic matters from the films. During the annealing process, the nanoparticles on the solid surface undergo nuc...
