Estimation of the Number of Quantum Dots Immobilized on an Ultra-flat Au Surface

Abstract Quantum dots (QDs) were immobilized on an ultra-flat Au surface by using amide binding between the carboxyl groups on the QDs and the amino groups of the self-assembled monolayer on the surface. The number density of the QDs estimated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) agreed with the quantit...
