Au Nanoparticle Sub-Monolayers Sandwiched between Sol-Gel Oxide Thin Films

Sub-monolayers of monodisperse Au colloids with different surface coverage have been embedded in between two different metal oxide thin films, combining sol-gel depositions and proper substrates functionalization processes. The synthetized films were TiO2, ZnO, and NiO. X-ray diffraction shows the c...
